WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AFTER A HYSTERECTOMY - DIFFER RESPONSES
There is great disagreement over the degree of psychological and sexual impact of hysterectomy. That's because different studies have had dramatically different results—naturally, because women's responses differ. There is conflicting data on whether the uterus has any role in sexual pleasure. Many OB-GYNs point to data showing that the uterus (and cervix at its neck) are not needed for orgasm. They argue that it is the loss of the ovaries and the estrogen that they produce that can lead to sexual problems (since the vagina becomes dry, and other menopausal changes set in), and that most female sexual response is centered around the lower third of the vagina—the clitoris, vulva, and so on. Others say that the uterine contractions that sometimes occur during orgasm are sorely missed after hysterectomy. Nora Coffey of Hysterectomy Educational Resources and Services (HERS) has data to support this latter perspective. HERS data shows that an extremely large number of women suffer significant feelings of loss after a hysterectomy, along with both physical feelings of exhaustion and pain, and emotional symptoms of depression, lack of sexual desire and satisfaction.
