Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I developed a uterine tumor at a young age. I just had a hysterectomy last month, and I can no longer get pregnant. However, I still have a question I'd like to consult with you about. Doctor, after the removal of uterine fibroids, should there be any impact on sexual life?Doctor's answer:
Having uterine fibroids, it's actually not necessary to have a hysterectomy. At the age of 26, if the uterus has already been removed, of course, there's no expectation of being able to get pregnant anymore. After the hysterectomy, estrogen levels decline, and menopausal symptoms may appear prematurely. As estrogen levels continue to drop, symptoms such as dryness, hot flashes, and excessive thirst may reappear. Therefore, during sexual activity, one may experience pain and dryness, reduced secretions, decreased libido, and other similar symptoms.
