Sex After Hysterectomy

October 27th, 2009

 

The first and most obvious impact of hysterectomy is the hormonal changes that can disrupt both the desire for sex and the act of sex itself, and can prove to be a frustrating and painful experience. This is especially true for women that have sex within the first few months of recovery as well as for women who choose to forego taking hormone pills or using hormonal cream.

The physical aspects of hysterectomy are easily overcome by the right medical and physical treatment such as hormone replacement whether in oral, topical or injectable as advised by the doctor. It is the emotional aspects however, that usually ruin relationship of the couple. The first and probably the most effective solution is to regain the lost intimacy between a woman and her partner. The partner must be highly supportive in the months of recovery, and should not place undue pressure to have sex after hysterectomy if there is disinterest.
