Does hysterectomy affect sexual life?
Can the consequences of hysterectomy really affect sexual life? The answer is no.

First of all, let's understand the structure and function of female reproductive organs. Female reproductive organs include external genitalia and internal genitalia. The external genitalia includes pubic mound, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris and vaginal vestibule, and the internal genitalia includes vagina, uterus, ovary and fallopian tube. The clitoris is located at the top between the labia minora, similar to the corpus cavernosum of the male penis. The clitoris is rich in nerve endings, extremely sensitive and erect, and it is the organ with the strongest sexual pleasure. There are a pair of frontcourt balls about 1 ~ 1.5 cm below the vaginal entrance surface, which can be fully congested and swollen. The vestibular ball half surrounds the vaginal vestibule and vaginal entrance, which can increase the friction effect during sexual intercourse and improve the sexual pleasure of both husband and wife. There are a pair of vestibular glands under the posterior part of labia majora, one on the left and the other on the right. The gland tube opens in the ditch between the labia minora and the hymen behind the vaginal vestibule, and secretes mucus during sexual excitement, which plays a lubricating role. The vaginal opening is the gateway to the vagina, located in the center of the vestibule of the vagina, and the vagina is the organ for sexual intercourse, which is about 7 ~ 10 cm long. The deep vagina is connected with the cervix to form the vaginal vault. Above the cervix (in the pelvic cavity) is the uterine body, and both sides are connected with the ovarian fallopian tube. If it is necessary to do total hysterectomy because of gynecological diseases, it is to cut the vaginal wall in this part of the vault, and then suture the vaginal stump after taking out the uterus. In this way, although the length of vagina is shorter than before operation, its space and length can change with the length of penis to meet the needs of life because of its many folds and large extension. The most important thing in the internal genitalia is the ovary, which has two major functions, ovulation and secretion of sex hormones. It is the sex hormones secreted by ovaries that maintain women's characteristics and sexual desire. Women's sexual sensitive areas are mainly in clitoris, lips, breasts, inner thighs and other parts. The uterus is not a sexually sensitive area, but the cradle of the fetus. Hysterectomy will not affect women's characteristics and sexual desire, but will only lead to menopause and no more childbearing.

Patients who need to have their uterus removed have some gynecological diseases before operation, often accompanied by abdominal pain, anemia and other symptoms. The long-term torture of these diseases has affected their mood, and they are even afraid that sexual life will aggravate their condition. If the uterus is surgically removed, the pain will disappear and the psychological troubles will disappear. Sexual function, physical health and quality of life have been improved, and some women get more pleasure from sexual life because they are no longer worried about pregnancy. Therefore, after the operation, many women's sexual desire has improved. A researcher from an American university surveyed some women who underwent hysterectomy, and found that in the first year after the operation, the number of women who had sex at least five times a month increased by 65,438+00%, and 72% of women said they had an orgasm. This figure was 63% before operation. In the second year after operation, the proportion of female pain during sexual intercourse decreased from 40% before operation to 15%. This material also shows that hysterectomy has improved the quality of sexual life to some extent.

Therefore, women who suffer from certain gynecological diseases and need hysterectomy, please throw away these unnecessary worries and troubles and happily welcome the surgical treatment!
