Does hysterectomy affect women's sex life?

The pace of life in modern metropolises is constantly accelerating. More and more women are neglecting their own health due to family or work, and diseases follow. The most common diseases are gynecological diseases, such as cervicitis, uterine fibroids, cervical erosion, etc. If these diseases are not effectively treated in time, they can easily lead to more serious hidden dangers and even require hysterectomy, which is undoubtedly a fatal injury to women. The disease will not only cause certain damage to women's bodies, but also affect the sexual life between couples and cause family conflicts. So, does a hysterectomy affect a woman’s sex life?

1. Hysterectomy will not affect sexual life

During a hysterectomy, only the uterus and ovaries are removed, and the body will continue to secrete hormones and body fluids related to sexual behavior. The body's sexual function is exactly the same as before the operation, so as long as the woman herself lets go of the psychological burden, it will not affect her sexual relationship. Therefore, when there is a tense sexual relationship between a man and a woman, they should consider receiving professional psychological counseling to eliminate psychological risks.

2. Psychological factors can lead to female sexual dysfunction

Some women will experience sexual dysfunction after undergoing a hysterectomy. In fact, this is caused by negative emotions. Some women may develop a sense of inferiority due to hysterectomy, worrying that they will no longer be attractive to their husbands and will be rejected, thus suppressing their interest in sex. Some women even think that they are no longer women without a uterus, etc. These unnecessary worries and misunderstandings will affect the quality of their sex life. Therefore, the most important thing is to eliminate psychological pressure. At the same time, the care and understanding of the spouse are also very important.

As women, although we cannot predict the onset of disease, we have the opportunity to control the deterioration of the disease. When we feel unwell, we should go to a regular hospital for professional examination as soon as possible, so as to understand our health status as early as possible and try to minimize the impact of the disease.
