Do I need to use contraception after a total hysterectomy?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Please ask if you need to use contraception after a total hysterectomy.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after the uterus is removed, pregnancy will not occur, and contraception is not needed. Women who have had a hysterectomy will no longer have menstruation. Post-hysterectomy precautions include eating more fruits, vegetables, and high-fiber foods, and drinking 2000-3000cc of water daily to prevent constipation. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. It is also important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
