Hysterectomy Support Group
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, usually done by a gynecologist. Hysterectomy may be total (removing the body and cervix of the uterus) or partial (also called supra-cervical). Although there are conservative alternatives, hysterectomy is performed for uterine fibroids, pelvic pain, pelvic relaxation, heavy or abnormal menstrual bleeding, and cancer.
Hello I am new to this group I am having some issues I had a hysterectomy when I was 28 years of age due to some issues that I was having I now am 37 years old and I have lack of a sex drive does anybody else have that issue or is it just me and if you have that issue can you please help me figure out what I need to do so I don't feel like I am neglecting my husband thank you
I also have had horrendous bowel probs' also just since my op'. I may not be helping you...sorry...but i am so glad to hear of some1 having similar.
The times i have had sex it is not the 'same' & if i do get to orgasam it's definitely not the same. I so wish i could turn the clock back. Sorry for offloading. Your 1st person I've 'seen' with similar & willing to mention it.
Does it make a difference if you keep your ovaries? The doctor said she can leave them in. Since that's where the hormones come from, I assumed that my sex drive wouldn't change if my ovaries were still there, and that sex wouldn't feel different if I still have my cervix.
