Q: Am I Frigid?

asked by: DoctorQuestion on October 6th, 2006

I had a full hysterectomy a year and a half ago. I used to feel sexual arousal alot more and now even though my boyfriend is gorgeous, I just don't get that "heavy" feeling down there like I used to. Is it over for me????

Menopause Answer A1607

According to your symptoms (lack of sexual arousal), a previous operation (hysterectomy), and age (56)... you might be experiencing frigidity as a result of older age and surgical intervention. You can ask for expert help from a gynecologist and a mental health professional.
