What are the sequelae of hysterectomy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

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