No: Most women don't experience sexual drive irregularities/dysfunction after undergoing a hysterectomy. Along the same lines, ert (estrogen replacement therapy) is also not a given after a hysterectomy. Interestingly enough, testosterone drives sexual desire in both men & women. Alternate sources of androgen production are present in females (e.g. Adrenal gland).

Depends: First of all it also depends on whether you have your ovaries removed. Possible hormone replacement can mean estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. They do very different things and effects after surgery are highly variable.

False:talk to ur doc: Pelvic surgery, whether total or partial hysterectomy, vaginal or abdominal, w/ or w/o oophorectomy, does not render you asexual. Sure you might have some initial post-op discomfort. And if ovaries are taken, you may (not) need menopausal hormone therapy (new catchphrase). But once recovered, you can be as sexually active as you once were. Be sure to ask your gyn about any & all questions pre-op.
