What are the effects of fallopian tube removal on the body?

Having a baby is a dream for every woman. If you cannot have a baby, it is not only a regret but also a blow to every woman. However, many women have to have their fallopian tubes removed due to physical illness. So what effects does fallopian tube removal have on the body? The most important impact is that women can no longer get pregnant and their bodies will become weak. Let us now understand the effects of fallopian tube removal on the body.

Most women will experience varying degrees of decreased sexual function after a hysterectomy, which is mainly manifested by: lack of sexual desire, reduced frequency of sexual intercourse, difficulty in orgasm, etc. In the past, there has been little research on sexual life issues after hysterectomy. The reasons are many, such as patients are often ashamed to talk about sex, and doctors have no time to take care of or ignore it. It is now gradually recognized that the patient's sexual harmony and health after surgery will also involve the consolidation of marriage and family. Therefore, the issue of sexual life cannot be ignored for women of any age after hysterectomy. The following factors are analyzed to determine the impact of hysterectomy on women's sexual life:

(1) After hysterectomy, inflammatory granulations often form during the healing of the vaginal stump, leading to bleeding and dyspareunia during sexual intercourse;

(2) Vaginal shortening after hysterectomy and vaginal dryness due to decreased estrogen levels can both cause pain during sexual intercourse;

(3) Cervical resection destroys the uterine and vaginal nerve plexus endings, resulting in reduced sexual response and difficulty in orgasm.

(4) In addition, psychological changes also affect the quality of sexual life of women after surgery, such as fear of surgical pain, anxiety about not having menstruation after hysterectomy, inability to have children, and worry about her husband's change of interest in her after surgery, worry about loss of sexual function, premature aging, and masculinization. Some patients may suffer from excessive worry, which may seriously affect the harmony of their marital life and family life, affect their work, and may develop mental symptoms such as depression and anxiety, and cause psychological disorders.

Many measures have been taken to minimize the decline in women's sexual quality of life after hysterectomy. If the surgery is performed, the length of the vagina should be preserved as much as possible, and the vaginal stump should be handled carefully. The patient should avoid bathing in a tub within 6 weeks after the surgery and sexual intercourse within 3 months to allow the wound of the vaginal stump to heal and avoid the formation of vaginal granulation. For patients with obvious ovarian dysfunction and low estrogen levels, estrogen replacement therapy can be appropriately performed. At the same time as estrogen replacement therapy, appropriate sedatives and antidepressants can be given, which can promote mood stabilization and the elimination of clinical symptoms. In addition, it is also very important to eliminate the patient's fear before surgery. Patients should understand that psychological factors are one of the main factors determining sexual function.

The above answers the question of what effects fallopian tube removal has on the body. Although fallopian tube removal has a greater impact on women, when this kind of thing really happens to you in life, you must face it positively and optimistically. Even if it causes you to be unable to get pregnant again, with the development of medical technology today, we will have more other ways to solve the problem.
