Sexual Changes

I have a very high sex drive and I have multiple orgasams. I am very sesitive and I am hearing all that changes. If I kept something....would that make the results different?
I would like to hear others experiences.

If you keep "something," there is no guarantee about your sex life after the surgery. What needs to be taken out depends on exactly why you are having the surgery, so you need to talk to your surgeon about what needs to go and what can stay. I, for instance, had to lose my cervix but was able to keep my ovaries, and everything has been great. Women who have had absolutely everything taken out have reported some good outcomes when it comes to sex, some not so good. We are all different. Don't be afraid to address this issue with your doctor.

Hi Rebecca!

Your concerns about post-hysterectomy sexuality are so common that there is even an article about it in the Pre-Op Articles archive. Please do yourself a favor and take a read here:

Is Sex Really The Same?

Many s and Best Wishes,

I had a TAH and only kept one ovary. I was very nervous about sex after my surgery. I will just say that our sex life is better than ever and I actually think it feels better now then it did before! Take it easy and do not rush anything and above all pamper yourself !

Kept one ovary, cervix removed. Sex is the same or better than before!

I had a LSH and kept one ovary. My ogasams now are SO MUCH BETTER. No more pain and bleeding...thank god! Sex is so much better now and I'm glad I did it, even though, I do not have any children, it was soooooooo worth it!

Susie.
