    Hysterectomy significantly impacts sexual function, causing both biological and psychological distress. Some women experience increased sexual activity as a coping mechanism for feelings of inferiority post-surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecological surgery
    • Female sexual health
    • Psychological impact of surgery

    Context:

    • Study involved 120 women undergoing hysterectomy, excluding oncological cases and vaginal hysterectomies.
    • Participants were categorized into four groups based on surgical extent: cervix preservation/removal and ovary preservation/elimination.
    • Focus on non-oncological, abdominal or laparoscopic hysterectomies.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the effects of hysterectomy on sexual function in women.
    • To explore the biological and psychological consequences of organ loss following hysterectomy.
    • To identify correlations between surgical extent and sexual health outcomes.

    Summary:

    • Hysterectomy, regardless of cervical or ovarian preservation, was associated with disturbed sexual function in women.
