Background Info Hide
My wife had this operation in 1982. She still has her overies.One year after this operation her desire for sex went to 50% less. With in 2 years it had went to100%, no interest. Doctors that do this operation do not inform both parties of what this operation will do to their sex life. I found out in may of 2000 that i am a type 2 diabetic. My desire for sex has been less at times because of my condition, but never zero. I have never found any doctor that has an answer to why my wife lost interest in sex. I know that an hysterectomy.for a woman is like casteration for a man. Have you ever had this question ask or do you have some answers. On www.hystersister.com there are a lot of women that have the same problem as my wife, no interest in sex. Would appreciate some help in this. Our ages are 65 for me and 62 for my wife.

When someone has a complete Hysterectomy with removal of Ovaries, the change in hormones can be very dramatic, and even when the Ovaries are not removed, there is a gradual decline in their function over a 2 to 3 year period. Libido is related to these changes in Estrogen, Progesterone and Androgen levels. Use of Bio-identical Hormones can be helpful, when they are compounded to meet the individual needs of a persons’ biochemical makeup. It is very important to find health care professionals who are well trained and specialize in the use of Bio-identical Hormone replacement therapies, who utilize lab tests and individual evaluation, to formulate an appropriately balanced replacement plan.
