My friend told me that his wife informed him that when a women has a historectomy she can't have an orgasm anymore. Is that true?
 
historectomy: n. A procedure removing all sexual encounters from the mind, thus returning you to virgin status. Cannot be performed on a male without severe complications...although many males continually act as though they have had one.

p.s. make me #946
 
no and its spelt Hysterectomy. I still have just as many now as I did before mine.

Sexual Function After Hysterectomy


To the Editor: The study reported by Dr Rhodes and colleagues,1 like previous studies evaluating the effect of hysterectomy on sexual behavior,2-4 focused on the quantity rather than the quality of sexual activity. Rhodes et al measured sexual function with closed response and multiple-choice questions rather than standardized sexual response questionnaires or interviews that would have brought greater meaning and specificity to the results.

Questions regarding the subjective experience of sexual arousal before and following hysterectomy were not asked. An attempt was made to quantify strength of orgasm, but how does one measure and compare "very strong" vs "strong" orgasms? No questions addressed whether orgasm was experienced in a qualitatively different way (eg, noting uterine contractions).

The authors state that "few women who were having orgasms before hysterectomy stopped having them after hysterectomy." It would be valuable to learn more about this group and which factors predict women most likely to experience sexual difficulties following surgery. Similarly, the authors claim that "ncreased sexual activity after hysterectomy may be the strongest evidence of a positive effect of hysterectomy on sexual functioning." Clinical experience indicates that increased frequency is not directly related to satisfaction. The frequency of intercourse after hysterectomy can increase because the underlying cause that prevented it has been eliminated (eg, bleeding). However, the intensity and multidimensional nature of orgasm may have changed compared with the preoperative state, and this was not measured. Also, frequency of intercourse is affected by many factors, including relationship dynamics.

Many women were not sexually active either before or after surgery (Table 3), a finding that requires further explanation. Table 3 in the original article also reveals that 10% to 16% of the women who had no sexual problems before hysterectomy either reported a sexual problem or stopped being sexually active after surgery. Considering the half a million hysterectomies performed in the United States each year, this represents a large number of women and is reason for concern.5

In light of the complexity of the determinants and mechanisms of sexual response in women, and the limited focus of this study on short-term and behavioral measures, we are left with an incomplete picture of the effect of hysterectomy on the quality of women's sexual lives.
