" Are you quoting from the study in Norway that interviewed 409 women? If so, that study was full of holes and has been debunked. Hysterectomy destroys a womans sex life by;1) Severing all the nerves that supply sensation to the vagina, labia, clitoris. 2)Disrupting the blood supply to same.3) Removing the uterus is removing the biggest erogenous zone. 4)If ovaries were removed (castration) you have instant hormone loss that no synthetic hormone or herbal concoction can replace. Though your scenario would work with an intact woman who might be gun shy, it does not and will not work for a hysterectomised woman. How in the world does going through a hysterectomy strengthen the bond between couples? Is that some kind of sick sadistic kind of relationship? 'My husband loves me more since all my goods were yanked.' or 'Losing my uterus and sex drive and having my entire life destroyed has made my marriage stronger because now he has a real reason to b*tch.' ??? I'm almost 2 years post op. My marriage stinks because I can't have sex anymore. There was no real reason for these butchers to do this to me and I sometimes wish I would have died on the table. Please contact the HERS Foundation or browse my website to get information your not going to get from the Doctors. Once your sex drive is gone, with your uterus, nothing will bring it back. Your sex life will be a bitter memory and you'll live a life full of anger and pain after hysterectomy. “Actually, about 75% of women find that their libido remains unchanged and 20% actually had increased sexual desire. ”

I’m almost 2 years post op. My marriage stinks because I can’t have sex anymore. There was no real reason for these butchers to do this to me and I sometimes wish I would have died on the table.

Once your sex drive is gone, with your uterus, nothing will bring it back. Your sex life will be a bitter memory and you’ll live a life full of anger and pain after hysterectomy.

He did not offer me a ct125 test for cancer and insisted the cyst was most likely cancer and needed to be removed. He then proceeded to preform a total abdominal hysterectomy on me even though I said no to this procedure. My life ended that day. Hysterectomy is akin to male castration which is NOT a routine surgery as hysterectomy is. Why?? Why are we women taken advantage of and lied to as to hysterectomy and it's lasting effects? My doctor ruined my life and this happens every minute of every day. Please read 'The H Word' by Nora Coffey before making ANY decisions involving surgery. It is YOUR life. Protect it.
