Sometimes, other reproductive parts like ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix might also be removed along with the uterus. After the removal of the uterus, a woman can no longer have children.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysterectomy (Uterus Removal) is performed by an experienced gynaecologist who will remove either complete or partial uterus as per the medical conditions of the patient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Reasons for hysterectomy (Uterus Removal)<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Here are some reasons which may lead to the removal of the uterus:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain, bleeding and other problems caused due to uterine fibroids\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dislocation of the uterus into the vaginal canal\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cancer of the uterus, cervix, or the ovaries\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Endometriosis\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaginal bleeding\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain in the pelvic region\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adenomyosis (thickening of the uterus)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A female undergoes a lot of changes after hysterectomy (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yashodahealthcare.com\/pg\/hysterectomy-procedure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uterus Removal<\/a>). She might have bleeding and feel pain in the abdomen area as these are the common side effects of hysterectomy (Uterus Removal). All surgeries can have short and long-term side effects. Hysterectomy (Uterus Removal) can also affect a\u00a0 woman\u2019s sex life. But as the body heals after surgery, these problems get resolved on their own. Getting back to a normal sex life after recovery will depend on several factors:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all surgical procedures have the same effect on all women. Each procedure affects every woman in a different manner. A sudden shift in the hormone level of a\u00a0 woman can happen after a hysterectomy. Women may also enter menopause if the ovaries along with the uterus are removed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sudden drop in the estrogen (a hormone) level may occur leading to menopause-like symptoms such as hot flashes and trouble sleeping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removal of the ovaries can also cause a decrease in testosterone levels which can affect the female sexual desires. Women may experience dryness in the vagina during intercourse, making it unpleasant and painful. This explains how a sudden drop in the levels of estrogen and progesterone after hysterectomy causes a low sex drive. These symptoms can be relieved by hormone replacement therapy as recommended by the doctor. You can also use lubricants to get rid of vaginal dryness while having sex as it may reduce the pain and discomfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysterectomy affects the pregnancy and menstrual cycle as a woman who has had a\u00a0 hysterectomy done can longer have periods. Women may not be able to have children after hysterectomy as the uterus is removed. All these factors increase the level of anxiety, depression, and low sexual desires. In this case, try to communicate with your partner without any hesitation. You can also discuss such concerns with your doctor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hysterectomy (Uterus Removal) may change the sex experience of different women differently. They may no longer feel the same about sex as they used to earlier. Consequently, women find sex less enjoyable after the removal of the uterus and cervix. On the other hand,\u00a0 some women feel just the opposite. Some researches even show that hysterectomy improves sex dramatically making it more enjoyable. It increases the sex drive and the frequency of orgasm in women who have undergone hysterectomy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Resuming sex after hysterectomy (Uterus Removal)<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is recommended to wait for at least 6 weeks before resuming sex after hysterectomy (Uterus Removal). Nothing should be inserted into the vagina for a period of 6 weeks after the surgery. Women may no longer have periods (menstruation) but can feel pain, have vaginal discharge, and light bleeding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burning sensation, pain, and itching at the site of the incision are some of the common symptoms a woman may experience after a hysterectomy. Most of these symptoms go away once the body starts to recover after the surgery. It takes around 2 months for the symptoms to go away after the surgery. Women may experience menopause-like symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, night sweats, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the recovery consults your doctor as to the right time for having sex.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it is difficult for you to regain your normal sex life after a hysterectomy, you can\u00a0 follow these tips to get your sex life back on track:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t rush to have sex. Take your time to get aroused.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though your uterus is removed your vagina can still have sensations for sexual pleasure. Hysterectomy doesn\u2019t affect the vaginal sensations.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find your normal sex positions uncomfortable, try to explore new options in which you find yourself comfortable.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to talk to your partner about how you feel on or before having sexual intercourse.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also consult a sex therapist or counselor for advice.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yashodahealthcare.com\/book-an-appointment\/\">Book an appointment at Yashoda Hospital<\/a> and seek advice from the best gynecologists in Ghaziabad, Delhi NCR.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yashodahealthcare.com\/doctor\/shashi-arora\"><b>Dr. Shashi Arora <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 She is the HOD of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology at Yashoda Hospital &amp;\u00a0 Research Centre, Nehru Nagar, Ghaziabad.
