Hysterectomy can you still have sex?

Hysterectomy is divided into total hysterectomy and subtotal hysterectomy: subtotal hysterectomy retains the cervix, does not affect the length of the vagina, so it will not affect sexual life; total hysterectomy needs to remove the cervix, vaginal stump needs to be sutured, but the length of the vagina basically does not shorten too much, and the vagina is rich in extensibility, can meet the needs of sexual life; If it is cervical cancer and other malignant lesions, radical hysterectomy is required. Part of the vagina needs to be removed during surgery. The length of the vagina will be shortened, which will affect sexual life. If only ordinary total hysterectomy has little effect on sexual life. If it is removed together with ovaries, estrogen levels in the body will decrease, and it is easy to show symptoms such as cold libido, vaginal dryness, and sexual pain, which will affect sexual life quality.
