Many women who have already undergone a hysterectomy or who it is, think about what their sex life will be after the removal of the uterus , whether they themselves and their partner will experience the same sensations.
When is sex possible after removal of the uterus?
After the operation, doctors recommend at least six weeks to abstain from sexual life, since the seams should be well tightened after surgery.
Sensations of having sex after removal of the uterus
Sexual life in women with a remote uterus is no different from that of healthy female representatives. Of course, in the first months after hysterectomy a woman may experience some pain during sexual intercourse, but eventually they come to naught.
Since the female erogenous zones are located on the walls of the vagina and external genital organs, sex after the operation to remove the uterus continues to deliver the same pleasure.
If a woman has a part of the vagina removed with the uterus, then during sex she may have pain. If a woman has a uterus removed with her appendages, she may stop experiencing orgasm.
The main problem in this situation may be more of a psychological aspect. A woman who has undergone a hysterectomy can find it difficult to relax, and, therefore, to enjoy sex. In this regard, it may decrease sexual desire . Problems with libido can also occur in connection with hormonal disorders, if a woman does not take the hormone drugs recommended by her doctor.
But the majority of women (about 75%) retain the force of sexual desire at the same level, and some even experience its increase, which is most often due to the elimination of unpleasant gynecological symptoms and discomfort after surgery.
