The loss of sexual feeling is more than the loss of enjoying sex and intimacy. It is hard to realize how much sexuality is a part of who we are. Our vitality, sexual energy, creativity and so much more.<br /><br />Having said that, there may be some things that can help you enjoy sex more than you do now. Which is not to say that it can ever be the same as it was before. There is no way to regain the loss of uterine orgasm and vitality. If sex was a 10 or 10+, and since the surgery it is a 0 or 1, it might be possible for it to be a 5 or 6 and occasionally a 7. <br /><br />If you want to discuss this, please call HERS to schedule an appointment to speak with Nora at 610.667.7757.HERS Foundationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624611382874234485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326528465005359200.post-40951516150082598342014-02-19T14:23:34.971-05:002014-02-19T14:23:34.971-05:00Hello everyone.
I had a hysterectomy almost 2 year...Hello everyone.<br />I had a hysterectomy almost 2 years ago now. The surgeon said that everything would be much better and that my sex life would be the same. <br />Um NO! I went through about 4-6 months of the "crazies". I felt crazy angry, jumpy, insane, emotionally disconnected, and definately not myself. I drugged myself with every kind of herbal supplement, and anything else I could get my hands on for months, and eventually it seemed to help. That state of mind eventually got much easier to deal with. <br />As for the sex and sex drive, they no longer exist. After the surgery we used to have sex but I couldn't feel anything and it was very frustrating, my husband said that I felt "hollow" to him and that he really couldn't feel much of anything either. We kept trying but it never got better. Now we just don't do it anymore and our relationship has suffered badly. I feel guilt all of the time and fear that eventually he will leave me. He is 6 years younger than me and still very "driven". When the idea of a hysterectomy came up I was told that everything would be fine, body fine, sex fine, life fine... I feel betrayed and without recourse. I cry a lot thinking that I am irreparably broken. Who could love me now??? Like it or not sex is part of the relationship package, and sometimes I do feel like having it.<br />Reading this post just made me feel pain for myself and the others here. I feel that I am too young for a sexless/partnerless life...<br />I'm not sure what else to say except that i am sorry for you all , and for myself.<br /><br />Blessings and light to you all.<br />~CynthiaCynthianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326528465005359200.post-79264584241372839882011-08-23T17:53:26.673-04:002011-08-23T17:53:26.673-04:00If you have doubts about undergoing a hysterectomy...If you have doubts about undergoing a hysterectomy, you can cancel or postpone the surgery. August 30th is an artificial deadline, it can be changed with a phone call. You can call and leave a message with the receptionist in the doctors office that you have decided to postpone the surgery and you will call them if or when you are ready to reschedule. That will give you the time you need to gather more information. <br /><br />If you have not already done so, watching the short video "Female Anatomy: the Functions of the Female Organs at www.hersfoundation.org/anatomy gives you an understanding of what happens inside the pelvis when the female organs are removed, and how that affects the surrounding pelvic structures.<br /><br />You can read what 1,000 women reported about their experiences with hysterectomy, at http://www.hersfoundation.com/effects.html.<br /><br />If you would like to have information emailed to you contact HERS at hersfdn@earthlink.net.

Despite a loving hubby of decades and a wonderfully exciting pre surgical sex life, sadly, I have found nothing to make up for the loss of these critical organs.<BR/> No sane person tries to tell a man that he can have his penis severed, his prostate removed, and <BR/>his testicles tore from his body without critical endocrine, sexual, emotional, mental, and reproductive consequences. <BR/> So why does the medical profession largely persist in its' insistence on this very same inhumane treatment for women? Under the banner of advocacy, no less. <BR/> My Dad used to have an expression that he used when, in his opinion, someone was past redemption. He'd say, "H*ll won't be hot enough for 'em!" I say the expression fits here. <BR/> All of that being said, I can tell you what I do that seems to help in some small measure. First, I take the fish oil. There is an ingredient found in fish that is chemically similiar to the ovaries' own oxytocin, the hormone of mating and maternal behaviours. Personally, I believe that it is this hormone that women miss the most. Oxytocin is also a great stress reliever.<BR/> Additionally, I use a weekly estradiol patch (0.1mg), compounded tri-est vaginal creme, an otc progesterone creme (480mg. per ounce) and a compounded, transdermal testosterone (1%). While there is both positive and negative to be said about all, a couple of days before the patch is to be replaced, I start feeling more down. Bottom line: I just feel like I need 'em. The testosterone, not so much. I use it during the day so that I'll know if it is giving me trouble. It can give me a headache. Both compounds I make a one month supply last for six or more months so my usage is way below what the directions say. Same for the progesterone. The medicos have no idea when it comes to dosing. Or, perhaps, they are intent on finishing us off. At this point, I put nothing past them.<BR/> Ah, well, back to my regiment... which also includes calcium with Vit D, a baby aspirin, and resveratrol (red wine extract). There is so much positive research on the fish oils and the resveratrol that I figure it is well worth the small cost. I use Sundown supplement versions of both. <BR/> Shelley, please know that not everyone views humanity with such little regard as has been shown by the destructive treatment that you received.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326528465005359200.post-22290445500143273652009-03-22T15:06:00.000-04:002009-03-22T15:06:00.000-04:00Hi My name is Shelley and I am 43 years old this y...Hi My name is Shelley and I am 43 years old this year. For years I seeked help from my family doctors and OB's asking and looking for something to help me. I even sought counseling cause I thought something was wrong with me, in why I didn't want to have sex with my 2nd husband. I didn't understand....I was 28 or 29 when I got that procedure done. except they took everything out. uterus and ovaries.. and falopian tubes. I got married again to my 2nd husband at 30. within 1year we started having marital problems, sex was the big one. I thought maybe he didn't turn me on...cause by then I was having sex cause he needed it. I got nothing from it. after 9years we divorced. Nobody could help me. My doctors would recommend estrogen/progesterone and then black cohosh. Now I have been taking effexor since a year after my hystorectomy cause i was emotionally unstable. i thought my marriage was the problem. I can't explain how long I have been searching for answers....and now I am with a wonderful man, who loves me....and I don't get sexual or get feel the need for sex. when we have it, it is nice cause I love him...i want to please him, but to be completely honest I don't feel the need for sex and that distroughts me. cause now that I am reading this...I don't know what to say. I have been castrated at 28/29 and now I am 43, and NOW i know why i feel the way i do...and all these years of no dam doctor knowing why i am feeling the way I am is downright malicious and I am completely heart torn. I have been raped of my woman hood. cause some doctor said I had endometrius or what ever that is, and me so out of it in pain, my dad gave the dr permission to do that surgery on me. I can't remember the doctors name but i think i can find out the hospital...corpus christi tx is not that big.<BR/><BR/>What can I do? is there any kind of surgery to change this? any kind of implant? or is there meds that can help my sexual desire at all??<BR/>Shelley<BR/>shelley_mitchell2@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326528465005359200.post-66921688031454032132009-03-21T10:33:00.000-04:002009-03-21T10:33:00.000-04:00If you want to support creating a law that will co...If you want to support creating a law that will compel doctors to provide the information women need before they are told to sign a hysterectomy consent form go to http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/saynotilyouknow/<BR/>and SIGN the PETITION.

My hysterectomy is the absolute worst thing I have ever been through and it continues to dominate my life. From chronic fatigue, to fibromyalgia to forgetting simple words, to aging and grey hair, to feeling duped by a doctor I trusted was doing the right thing. I have been everywhere and spent so many thousands of dollars to try to get me back. I feel so disconnected to my life with lightheadedness, and just a sense of feeling sick everyday for the last 5 years trying to get better. I have to believe there is help for me and someone with a brain can get these hormones right or I may as well turn the key on and sit in the garage.Believe me it has ran through my mind so many times it's scary.
