Sex after hysterectomy

2 replies

I recently had a hysterectomy after stage one cells were found in my ovaries. 6 weeks down the line I am on the mend but I feel disgusted with my body. After 2 pregnancies, one a section, I accepted my post baby body and felt proud of my achievement. Now I have nothing to show for the saggy and bloated belly and am worried that my husband is secretly disgusted as well. I have suffered from depression since I was a teenager so I can't just 'pull myself together' like some people. I've never had a model figure but learnt to accept how I am, the hormone therapy has made me gain 2 stone and I am struggling now. Anyone else experienced this?

Totally get you, I had an abdo hyst 12 weeks ago. Whereas I had a c section before and a neat scar I now have a huge 'step' and a bloated massive tummy. You are not alone! x

What you are experiencing since undergoing a hysterectomy is common. To understand what is going on anatomically, watch the short but excellent video www.hersfoundation.org/anatomy.
