A member asked:
What effect does a total hysterectomy have on sexual function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Removal of the uterus only has no effect on sexual function. If the ovaries are also removed there will be a significant effect. This can be avoided with hormone replacement. The ovaries produce estradiol,progesterone,and testosterone.
