Can you cath STD after a hysterectomy?

Answer 1

Yes! You absolutely can get std's after a hysterectomy. A hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus and sometimes the ovaries as well. A sexually transmitted disease (std) is an infection which is transmitted sexually during intercourse; vaginal, anal or oral. During sexual contact a person who is infected passes the virus or bacteria to his/her partner via body fluids such as; semen, saliva, vaginal secretions, and blood. These diseases can include, but are not limited to; Chlamydia Gonorrhea HIV, Hepatitis, Syphilis, Yeast and a host of other infections. Whether or not you have a uterus/ovaries does not preclude you from contracting these diseases as many of them pass into the blood stream and attack multiple sites within the body, not just sexual organs. If you think you may have had sexual contact with an infected person, you must seek medical help right away. Most of these diseases are symptom free initially, or mimic other conditions such as the flu. Some of these diseases are deadly, such as HIV, Hepatitis, Syphilis. If you do not have health insurance, go to a community health clinic or Planned Parenthood. In some cases your cost may be waived or substantially reduced if you qualify financially.
