What are the effects of hysterectomy? Will hysterectomy affect sexual function?

Hysterectomy is very harmful to women and may have a great impact. Some people may feel affected in their sexual life, some may experience physiological phenomena such as premature aging, some may have a serious psychological burden, and some may experience constipation and other excretion abnormalities.

The uterus is the only place for new life to be conceived. Many women may encounter serious uterine diseases. Medication and physical methods do not have a good effect, so they have to choose surgery to remove the uterus. Next, let us understand the impact of removing the uterus.
1. Physiological impact <br/>The uterus has special significance for women. Some women encounter serious medical problems and need surgical removal. If a woman's body does not have a uterus, the dynamic balance of secretion between the uterus and ovaries will be destroyed.
After losing their uterus, most women will experience ovarian aging, early menopause, and possibly other serious problems such as rough skin.
2. Impact on sexual life <br/>The uterus will be strongly stimulated during sexual intercourse, especially during climax, the uterus will contract. However, without the uterus, there will be no such function, which may affect the sexual experience.
After a hysterectomy, scars will be left, the pelvic muscles will lack their original elasticity, and the vagina will become difficult to expand, so the current pleasure will lose its original degree of significance.
3. Impact on psychology <br/>After undergoing hysterectomy, some women will worry about the loss of sexual function, aging, and even male characteristics, so they will feel anxious and depressed, and may even have psychological disorders. At this time, we should pay attention to do a good job of corresponding mediation, and we should be aware of this information in advance. Doctors and family members should enlighten and guide patients more.
4. Affects excretion <br/>The female reproductive system and urinary system are directly related. The cells of the bladder mucosa and urethra are stimulated by estrogen. After the hysterectomy, there will be insufficient secretion of estrogen, so it is easy to have frequent urination and urgency. The emptiness in the pelvic cavity may also lead to the displacement of body organs, so there may be a decrease in the frequency of bowel movements or more serious constipation problems.
