A member asked:

What effect does a total hysterectomy have on sexual function?

Dr. Cynthia Frazier answered

Specializes in Gynecology

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.
