A member asked:

Having a complete hysterectomy done, will i have a sex drive afterwards?

Dr. James Lin answered

Yes, as long as...: Yes, as long as a functional ovary or two still left behind and mental adjustment and expectation being sound, your sex drive will be still with you. Hysterectomy without ovarian removal is done for non-cancerous diseases. Then, why did you have hysterectomy? So, ask your surgeon timely for detailing as needed. Best...
