Hysterectomy And Intimacy


Guest Crossroads

Recommended Posts

Guest Crossroads

I was wondering about how my "intimate life" will change once I get a hysterectomy. If anyone could give me some advice, would you please PM me. I'm trying to find out all I can about each type and how it will affect all aspects of my life.

I've been looking over the internet and in other groups trying to find this information, and I can't quite find anything specifically talking about "intimacy". I mostly am finding more about scarring, periods, risks, etc.

Anyway, please PM me if you can help me! Thank you!!

Crossroads. My wife had a hysterectomy and it didn't change her in any way except one ... Relief! No more worries about cancer, cycles or extra parts...

The fact that until the mid 60's it was a common surgery for women past their 'child bearring years' at the first sign of anything remotely trouble some they did hysterectomies, don't bother with a biopsy, just take it all. It's main effect on intamacy would seem to be only in someone still young enough to have children, who want to have children and for medical reasons had to have a hysterectomy - now the feelings of lose come into play. For you those feelings simply will not exist and that is the real cause of any effect on intimacy.

Not scientific, but from the heart. Like the difference between sex and gender, intimacy is in the mind, a matter of perception, the physical is merely a reinforcement, for the true passion in intimacy is the blending and touching of two minds and hearts not just the bodies.

Love ya,

Sally (the hopeless romantic)

I haven't had a hysto, so I don't know anything firsthand. One thing I have heard though is that, once those parts are gone, there's kind of a space there. Other organs can sag or whatever. My grandmother had some issues related to that. Anyway, that was with an old school hysto. I don't know if they do something now to keep stuff in place. You know, like put in an extra stitch or some supports.

You'll be fine...

Whoa, Lizzie. I don't know. That got my heart rate up a little when I read that. You've got quite a way with words.

Thank y'all so much for your responses! I feel much less worried now and ready to tackle the options (Why can't my uterus just be GONE?!)

Thanks again!

You may want to check out the following links for more information. Be forewarned, the are talking about sex and so are not appropriate for younger audiences. Also, you may have to register with livejournal and then join the community to read the info.

There may also be information on this on http://community.livejournal.com/hysterectomies/ but I'm too lazy to look through yet another community. Be forewarned that this last one is mostly for cissexual women, though I've heard they're accepting for FTMs as well.

LOL, happens to me quite a bit. Although not so much this time, I guess because it's words not pictures :P

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.

      It took me less than 6 months, in how my body quickly responded to hormone therapy, I was once a 40 jeans size, and now I'm comfortably wearing 12 to 14 sizes. Estrogen can speed things up and can slow things down in order to make adjustments. Seeing a treating doctor is very important to monitor the hormone levels to avoid possible side effects later on in life.

      I actually have Yoga as part of my exercise routine at the moment.  Since I'm still in the first month (of three, arbitrarily chosen by me) I've only got it slated for weekends, Sat/Sun.  I am finding out though if I get a little in during my morning wake up that when I get to my cardio in the evening, my joints don't ache as much. Right now the routine is: Weekly - Minimum of 3 days of cardio Weekly - Minimum 1 day of Yoga Monthly - Single endurance jog, preferably on Sunday I want my big thighs and butt to kinda hang around, so I am going to work some cycling into the mix after the third month. So far though, with the help of the Yoga stretches, Down 14lbs in a month. Next week is month 2.  ;_;  Going to put the tredmill on a slight incline to see if I'm ready for it.  If ya don't hear from me, the tredmill ate me. Oh!  I use a product called Yoga Stack 52, so I can Yoga at home.  It's just a deck of cards with the poses, difficulty, areas they stretch, and a nifty QR code you can scan to see a demonstration.

      Overly emotional language always helps civil discourse. Not.

      I often see people on the political Right claiming that all the wealthy elites are funding the "Radical Left".  But what I see seems to be the opposite.  There seems to be no lack of "big money" funding the Right.  The so called "Radical Left" is completely disorganized.  The "liberal media" (controlled by the wealthy) seems to be committed to presenting "both sides" of everything (including trans issues) whereas the Right makes no such pretense.   It should be noted, that in 1930's Germany the wealthy industrialists had no problem supporting the party (that can't be mentioned here). I have seen very few on the Left (out side of a few on the fringe) supporting an authoritarian regime.  Whereas plenty on the Right seem fine with it - down to many local MAGA folks.  Most of the GOP doesn't seem willing to even commit to accepting an election that they don't win.  Both Gore and Clinton accepted their loss despite having actually won the popular vote.  (it's that pesky electoral college thing)   Some on the Right claim to be oppressed by not being allowed to oppress certain minorities.  And Rightwing authoritarianism is now considered "Patriotism."  Go figure.

      Technically, it's before noon ;)   Uneventful day so far. I have my personal devices limited to 15 mins of screen time a day because I had a C lol, only problem really is the fact I do a lot of my social interaction online because most of my friends are in another state... been a little lonely, I guess? Plus I do a lot of reading and such online, and use my phone for references to draw, so there's a lot I don't have access to. So, just an annoyance now.   Anyways, fixed the C, hopefully I'll have normal things again soon ^-^   My mom's been having me take this herb pill in the mornings that is supposed to help with anxiety/ADHD-type symptoms, but I still have been having about the same amount of trouble focusing and sensory issues, so I guess it's not working haha
