What are the postoperative sequelae of hysterectomy?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the sequelae of hysterectomy?

Doctor's answer:

There can be varying degrees of sexual dysfunction,:lack of libido, reduced frequency of sexual activity, difficulty reaching orgasm, etc. After hysterectomy, inflammatory granulation often occurs during the healing of the vaginal stump, leading to sexual intercourse bleeding and pain during intercourse. Vaginal shortening and decreased estrogen levels after hysterectomy can also cause vaginal dryness, resulting in pain during intercourse. Hysterectomy disrupts the uterus and damages the terminal branches of the vaginal nerve plexus, leading to reduced sexual response and difficulty achieving a new climax. Psychological factors also affect women's quality of life.
