I had a hysterectomy in Feb of 2015 and it didn't change my sex life at all. If it did, it made it better because now I don't have the pain I had before my hysterectomy. And it's such a relief.. Good luck to you!

Oh yeah and just bc you have been released to have sex doesn't mean you will be physically or emotionally ready for sex. Take your time. Spend time fooling around a few times without penetration to see how your body responds to orgasm. (Or maybe try on your own) It may be a different kind of orgasm than you had before. I had my cervix removed too so I was not able to have the deep penetration orgasms for a long time.

Thank you for this! I've only heard of negative outcomes and I'm having a partial hysterectomy next month.

Wow. Did you say that you thought your husband would "feel you were going to be even more useless afterwards?" *steam is blowing out my ears. 😡 I will tell you that having a supportive partner definitely makes it better. I believe that people rise to the level of your expectations.
There are challenges related to having hysterectomy but there are challenges either way with this disease. Are you getting HRT after or keeping an ovary? Dryness is an issue for most of us.
My husband and I have been to counseling about all of this. I'm also seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist/sex therapist for issues related to sex post complete hysterectomy among other things. She is amazing and has been super helpful.
But I've had doctors say all kinds of things ranging from "some women just don't like sex." (seriously this was a female doctor and the one who performed two of my 5 pelvic surgeries including my hysterectomy I wanted to punch her) to "sex after your hysterectomy often depends on your sex life prior to the surgery." Which is probably more accurate. Use lots of lubricant and foreplay is key.

Sorry did he say Useless?
I would divorce him where is his support?
