What Effect Does a Hysterectomy Have on Sexual Function?
A hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) may cause sexual dysfunction in many women. Women who have their uterus removed for a benign condition may experience a decrease in sexual responsiveness up to 30 percent. Hormonal changes associated with removal of the ovaries may result in loss of desire, decreased vaginal lubrication, and genital sensation.
Nerves and blood vessels integral to sexual functioning may also be damaged during the surgery.
Finally, some women may become depressed or feel a loss of self-esteem from their uterus being removed that may make it hard for them to engage sexually following the procedure.
Homoeopathic Approach
Homeopathic treatment has shown good results for lack of libido and inability to get aroused, especially because the cause is psychological in most of the women. It also helps immensely in cases of painful intercourse.
Sepia, Onosmodium, Agnus cast, staphysagria, Ignatia are few of remedies.
A person’s psyche and sexuality are inherently interconnected. Homeopathy takes into account the emotional state and treats it, too. An imbalanced personality, a mental disturbance and dissatisfaction in relationships are some of the reasons that are attributed to sexual dysfunction.
Homeopathy combined with yoga, spiritual orientation, counselling and sex education can banish problems in a person’s sex life.
