Do women still have feelings after a hysterectomy?

The only thing a hysterectomy changes for a woman is the ability to have a place to put a baby. Most times the surgeon does not remove the ovaries, so in a young woman her hormones are not affected. If they have been removed, hormonal therapy in the form of pills or a patch is available.

Feelings. A hysterectomy should not affect a woman's emotional feelings, nor should it affect her sensual response during sex. However, I must note that there are some women who are not psychologically ready for a hysterectomy because of their cultural or social upbringing. These women might be affected both in their emotions and sexual response. It's the same as when a gal feels "unwomanly" if she has breast surgery due to a medical problem.

On a private note, I have had my uterus and ovaries removed. If there was any change in my feelings or responses, it was an overwhelming feeling of relief. Ovarian cancer is very difficult to diagnose in some women, so that was one thing I could check off in my "things that might happen as I grow older" list.

How long after hysterectomy do you return to work?

When you are ready to. It really depends on the type of hysterectomy you have as a laproscopic will be much quicker than abdominal. If your job entails lifting then you shouldn't return till you are fully fit. Average times are 2-4 weeks laproscopic, 4-6 abdominal. Speak with your doctor before you return and remember your employer may not let you return unless they are fully satisfied you are fit and may demand a return certificate from him.
