I have large fibroids causing major
bleeding (blood loss so bad the doctors
have been debating transfusion for the
last month & a half). I have to make
a decision whether to try for a myomectomy
or a hysterectomy.
I haven't heard much discussion re
implications for sex/sexuality after
hysterectomy. My doctor says that since
he'd leave my ovaries, I'd still be able
to orgasm normally--but does sex itself
still feel good/normal?? I'll be really
angry if I not only lose my chance at
childbearing (I'm 39), but also have a
lousy sex life afterward (sex is about
much more than just orgasm). If anyone
can tell me about their experience--did it
significantly change your sex life,
sensation, etc., I'd be most grateful--I
have to schedule surgery this week!
Thanks!!

I had a partial hysterectomy about 9 years
ago when I was about 31. I haven't
noticed any change what so ever in my
life, health, sex life. I love not having
a period, especially since I was bleeding
buckets for the months before the surgery.
I had a lot of fibroids in my uterus.
My sex life isn't what I'd like, but it
wasn't before the surgery, either. I
don't have any pain and I don't turn my
husband down. His drive is less with age
and stress. I orgasm just fine and don't
think I've noticed any change in the way I
get there. Vagina touches still feel the
same.

hi, your sex life will be pretty much the
same, you will have orgasms and
everything, you will loose though, the
feeling of contraction inside your uterus,
that is the sensation of clutching, but
your partner won't feel the difference at
all, and you will still have great
enhancing orgasms.

Sex After Hysty Posted: 01-06-08 19:50pm
I had my uterus and cervix removed in Sept
abdominally. I still want sex but the 2
times that I have had since sx it has been
uncomfortable and with some bleeding. It
feels like he is hitting something and it
hurts. I have MD appt 1/24 and have many
questions. If anyone has any comments
please post Txs.
