Hysterectomy and loss of libido
Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy and loss of libido
hysterectomy
Having had my life upended by the removal of my ovaries (and uterus) and now aware of all the increased health risks and loss of quality of life, I would advise against having your ovaries removed. Studies have shown the importance of both ovaries our whole lives despite the high rate of oophorectomies. I'd be happy to share details if you'd like.
i had a hysterectomy when i was 21 and i have two lil grls and over the last two years my sex drive has dropped so much that i swear if i never had sex again that would be okay with me. but my husband of six years is running out of patience. i feel violated when we even talk about sex and i used to want to all the time we used to be all over each other our sex life was at least twice a day. and now its once a month and i hate every minute of it.
Hello everyone.
I'm a 17 year old male in High School with erectile dysfunction and a loss of libido. I noticed starting January or February last year that my erections where getting weaker and softer. In July I woke up and my penis felt abnormally flaccid. I remember having trouble getting any erection at all that day. The next week I could get an erection, but I would have to try very hard, it wouldn't be a real strong erection, and I would have to try quite hard.
Carol,
You will find lots and LOTS of people with this same issue. Some also experience anxiety, hot flashes, loss of libido and discomfort in the nether regions. It's all so much fun! When you start trying to say something and you just can't find the word, look around like you're having the most amazing thought and just smile! Then say you've got a great new idea you have to go work on! They won't know what hit them :)
Take lots of notes for yourself.

No, it's not necessary. Why remove body parts that are perfectly functional? Find another gynocologist. I had to see three gynocologists before i was happy. A hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) has long term effects on a woman's health, longevity, and sexuality. Women who have undergone a hysterectomy have a greater risk of a heart attack (triple the risk according to some studies), osteoporosis, and depression.
m very lethargic and depressed. I have no libido. I have a lot of pain in my left knee and both hands for no apparent reason, I weighed 123 lbs the day of surgery and 109 when I finally left the hospital. I have gained back 3-5 lbs.
I would like to know your opinion. When will I feel myself again, if ever? I was always very healthy, exercised and a non smoker. My son died of Hepatoblastoma at age 2 1/2.
My mommy knows some of what I can do for this as she was a smoker when she hit menopause so that calms me some but I have read some horror stories .... what kinds of things did you go through after a complete hysterectomy and did you use hormones?
I googled a search for trouble urinating after hysterectomy and found you guys. I too have the same problems, pain in abdomen that doubles me over and problems urinating, but i always feel i have to go. I am in the bathroom every few minutes trying to go. This is my second bout since my partial hysterectomy on 10-07-08. I was treated for a UTI even though my urine sample was negative.
Recently in the pass 2 months, I have gained a lot of weight due to busy schedule, lack of exercise and improper diet. I think I have gained about 18 pounds or about 7 KG.
I recently noticed that I have been losing my libido, unable to have intercourse with my girlfriend. It's not that I cannot get an erection, I just cannot maintain it while having intercourse with her. Halfway through, I find myself panting as though I have been running and sweating a lot.
