Q: Is There Sex After a Hystorectomy?

asked by: lsf52 on December 17th, 2005

I am a 29 year old, single mother who at the age of 25 had to have a complete hystorectomy after finding out that there were cancer cells present in my uterus. After a complete and successful recovery, I have found that I am unable to have a healthy sex life. I have tried numerous times only to find myself unable to perform. On top of which I have had to force myself to be with my partner. Is this a common side effect and is there a such thing as sex after a hystorectomy?

I'm not sure what you are saying.

Are you saying it is physically painful to have sex or that you are just not interested in sex anymore?

Did you keep your ovaries or cervix or did you have everything removed?

Is There Sex Ater a Hysteroctomy?

I had a complete hystorectomy and now I have no desire what so ever to have sex. I'm not a doctor or anything, but i'm 29 and i'm not sure that's healthy-not to have any kind of sex drive.

It's really common after a complete hysterectomy.
If your ovaries were removed you have nothing giving you hormones to have a sex drive.
Best thing is to speak to your doctor or gyn and enquire about types of hrt available and if they would be suitable for you.

Good luck hon
