Patient's question:
My wife was diagnosed with endometrial cancer 8 years ago and underwent a hysterectomy. For the past ten years or so, we haven't had much sexual activity, worried about the impact on her health. I'd like to ask the doctor: if she had a hysterectomy for endometrial cancer 8 years ago, can she still have sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
Patients with endometrial cancer can also engage in sexual activity after having their uterus removed, although the quality of sexual activity may significantly improve at this time. After the uterus is removed, patients can also engage in appropriate sexual activity, which can help regulate hormone levels in the body and maintain the acid-base balance of the vagina. In this situation, it is important to learn to control sexual desire and avoid excessive indulgence. If sexual activity is too frequent, it may reduce the probability of gynecological diseases.
