A hysterectomy can change how you experience sex. For some women, pressure against the cervix and contractions of the uterus are key to sexual pleasure. Removing the uterus and cervix might make sex less enjoyable. On the other hand, many women like sex more after a hysterectomy.
Hereof, how does a hysterectomy affect a woman sexually?
A hysterectomy is unlikely to impair sexual function. And for many women, vaginal sensation and the ability to experience external orgasms through clitoral stimulation are not affected. Some women do, however, experience less intense vaginal orgasms or no orgasms at all after hysterectomy.
Then, do you still get wet after hysterectomy?
After you’ve been cleared to return to normal activities, you may notice changes like dryness, problems with arousal, or loss of sensation during penetration. Regular sensation and natural lubrication may take some time to return after a hysterectomy. This is normal.
