I would just like to say that while a lot of women are scared, I had my hysterectomy June 26th, almost two weeks ago. I was so scared. I was online looking at blogs and trying to find alternatives, there really were none. I had one fibroid tumor, it was as big as a cantaloupe!! surgery was 5 1/2 hours long, but when I woke up from surgery, I could tell a huge difference. I am able to do many things, and before I had my surgery, I was tired, depressed...just unmotivated...I now feel like a million freaking dollars....while some women have issues with sexual dysfunction since their surgery, I am here to tell you that it must not be the case for all women, because it is the same. No I am not having sex...but I am a very sexual person...and I was terrified after reading some of these blogs when women would say their sex life deteriorated after surgery...they say boys have wet dreams...well, I know my body must have been sending me a signal that all was well because I had one!!!! went to get my stitches out day before yesterday and my dr told me it was ok for me to have an orgasm, as long as I didnt have intercourse...i rushed home to make sure that I wasn't totally dreaming, and let me tell you, it was the same as before surgery...I just want to reassure some women out there, it is ok!!! you will be ok!!!
