Not exactly an answer to your question, but a hysterectomy is NOT necessary.  There are some other options available: \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibroids#Treatment\n\nI had VERY heavy periods due to fibroids, and had the UAE at 41.  The UAE immediately cured my heavy menses with a very short healing period and no side effects.\n\nI highly encourage you and your wife to get a second opinion and a very good reason why a hysterectomy is necessary, before taking such an extreme action.  Not all doctors do this, but some doctors treat hysterectomy as a profit-making enterprise.

Well take this from a mother of 2 beautiful children that after you have a child you aren't in the mood for almost 4 months afterwards or maybe until the baby starts sleeping the whole night throuhg which takes awhile. U most definately have to be patient and understanding, as she may feel that you won't like her postpregnant body as it is sure not the same as it once was. She may feel very self conscience as alot of women are especially about stretch marks that they didn't have before, or the extra fat that being pregnant causes so she just rather not engage in that kind of activity for fear that you may be turned off once you see her in thta postion. Also I don't know wether she had a vaginal birth, or C-section but keep in mind that you are even suppose to engage in sexual activity for 4-6 wks vaginal and 4-8wks c-section it depends on her body.. Also as the woman's body changes when she is pregnant to accomodate that baby and nuture it inside her body, once she has it her body is in shock again and it has to re adjust to not being pregnant and all the chemical balances have to come back that she had prepregnancy.. However my dear if it continues to long, I would ask that she please see that doctor to make she that she hasn't acquired the post partum depression as that attacks alot of women and they don't even realize it and no sex drive is one of the results of it. GOOD LUCK.. and remember love and patience and understand are the 3 best keys to getting back to what you had sexually or bettering it!!!!

Yes, by having a hysterectomy or becoming pregnant

Although I concur with my colleague, Doc8, that it is entirely possible for you to have remaining endometrial implants, I would disagree that your complaint pattern is suggestive of endometriosis pain.\n\nIn a hysterectomy, the uterus, including the cervix, is removed.  The upper edge of the vaginal cuff which remains is sewn shut in a "purse-string" fashion.  There is necessarily some loss of length within the canal because of tissue removal and the suture line involving even more tissue.  \n\nThe vagina is normally a highly compliant organ, which can stretch by length or diameter without much resistance.  However, after a hysterectomy, the former location of the uterus above the vaginal pouch is occupied by a raw space which fills with fibrous scar.  Scar tissue has a series of phases it goes through and for many many months, it is NOT compliant.  During the maturation phase of this scar tissue, I could easily envision that the normal compliance of your vagina has changed.  Now, there is significant resistance to stretch.\n\nThis is, of course, a guess.  However, the time period over which scar tissue matures and softens is well in excess of a year.  If my guess is wrong, then you'll know in about 6 to 12 more months when the problem still hasn't gone away.  \n\nIn the mean time, I would humbly suggest that you appeal to the basic principle of country doctoring:  If it hurts, DON'T DO IT! :)\n\nI hope that helps.

NO!  A partia; hysterectomy involves removal of the uterus which is where a baby is carried until delivery.  You would no longer have a uterus or a cervix

Uhm, sorry but you're wrong. After menopause, they regain sex drive, but many are in commited relationships and their men have no sex drive or are unable to perform.

No.\n\nFibroids grow from the myometrium of the uterus. Therefore, no uterus = no myometrium = no fibroids.\n\nThe period like symptoms could be due to endometriosis. It is possible that even though you've had a hysterectomy, that if you suffered with endometriosis prior to it, you could still suffer from it now.\n\nSee your doctor, or seek a referal to a gynaecologist, who should be able to help you.

If you have a complete hysterectomy, your ovaries will also be removed.  When your ovaries are removed, you go through surgical menopause.\n"Premenopausal women who have had both ovaries surgically removed (oophorectomy) will experience an abrupt menopause and may be hit harder by menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and loss of libido than those who experience it naturally. Surgical menopause is associated with a greater decrease in androgen production than natural menopause, which may make hot flashes more severe, more frequent, and longer lasting for some woman."  http://www.womenshealth.com/library/hysterectomy_meno.htm\n\nIf you still have your ovaries: \n"If one or both ovaries are retained during a hysterectomy the patient could experience:\n\nContinuing normal function of the ovaries until the normal onset of menopause at the usual age of menopause, or \nEarly ovarian failure with the ovaries stopping hormone production sooner than expected.  This loss of ovarian function can occur as early as 1-2 years after the hysterectomy.  The ovarian failure may be very apparent to the patient and HCP when symptoms of estrogen deficiency occur.  Or it may be silent if estrogen levels fall but symptoms do not occur."  http://www.womenshealth.com/library/hysterectomy_meno.htm\n\nIf you are not sure if you have your ovaries, you should find out!  If you can, call the doctor who did the surgery, or even the hospital where the surgery was performed, and ask for an operative report.  It is important to know what has been done to our bodies.\n\n\nTo read about causes of hot flashes (other than menopause), check out this link:  http://www.wdxcyber.com/nmood12.htm

There is a procedure which is referred to as "female circumcision," but which is actually very different, and thoroughly disgusting.  In some countries, the father actually cuts out the clitoris, supposedly to make a woman less likely to cheat on her husband.  The idea, I suppose, is that if she does not get any pleasure from sex, she will have no incentive to take a lover.\n\nLike I said, it is thoroughly disgusting.  I was walking through an ultra-liberal bookstore once and saw a book with a photograph of the ritual.  The mother was holding the girl, dressed in her best dress and apparently bent over a chair or table, while the father was behind her skirts with his knife and the girl screamed in pain.  Why the picture was put in the book is probably in order to say it is barbaric, but I didn't need a photograph for that!

I don't think that you lose your sexuality, but you lose the importance of sex.  I am 33 and married with 4 kids.  We love each other and love having sex, but that isn't the most important thing in our lives.  I think that if you are having a healthy "sex" life alone, then good for you.  It is a God given gift and there is nothing wrong with self-exploration.  God gave us minds to make decisions and give us the tools for pleasure, so why shouldn't we use it?  Alone or with a partner.  If you are worried about losing the response and having all the symptoms that can go along with menopause, then go talk to your doctor about hormone replacement therapy.  My mom had a hysterectomy when she was 29 and she has been using estrogen/progesterone lotion for about the last 10 years.  She says that she is still feeling as young and responsive as she did when she was younger.

It's not necessarily a question of "coming back," but rather of "was it actually removed."\n\nMore often than not, even well-meaning surgeons do not recognize the disease in all manifestations and/or leave implants behind because they do not feel confident in treating them (for example, on the bowel). \n\nThe other point to consider is whether the disease was treated through ablation or other superficial surgical means (fulguration, coagulation, vaporization, etc.). Studies show if not completely and thoroughly excised (very different from ablation, etc.), symptoms will recur rapidly because the disease was only superficially treated. \n\nBest bet is to seek out a qualified surgeon who treats Endo through surgical excision. Though there is no definitive cure, excision can be highly effective for long term relief.\n\nFeel better and remember you're not alone! \n\nSee\nhttp://www.endocenter.org\nhttp://www.centerforendo.com\nhttp://www.endometriosistreatment.org\nhttp://www.reproductivecenter.com\nhttp://www.adlap.com/endoexcision.htm

Absolutely, you will still ovulate after a hysterectomy if the ovaries are not removed.  You will go through natural menopause just as you would if your uterus was never removed.  The ovaries are not dependant on the uterus in order for ovulation to occur. But, remember, it does not hurt to have an examination by qualified medical personel, just to be sure there is nothing more serious occuring.  If nothing else, it will give you piece of mind.\nHysterectomy with ovarian conservation will not induce menopause. Sometimes a temporary decrease of estrogens is seen, but within a few months normal ovarian function is restored. http://www.obgyn.net/meno/meno.asp?page=/meno/news_articles/ask_expert_0401#Question5m\nIf the ovaries are not removed, they may still produce hormones and eggs if a woman has not yet gone through menopause. Since the eggs are not fertilized, however, they dissolve in the abdomen.  http://fcs.tamu.edu/Health/Health_Education_Rural_Outreach/Health_Hints/2002/may/hysterectomy.php

not possible at all. the uterus is the only place where the embryo/foetus develops. so if it has been removed, how can anyone get pregnant?

My guess is that its somehow sexually connected (you are using the same organs afterall!!) Have you noticed that sometimes you are turned on, and you go take a leak, and after that dont feel like having sex anymore?

A myomectomy is the surgery recommended for women who wish to become pregnant after fibroid surgery (as compared to a hysterectomy, for example).  \nPost-myomectomy chances of becoming pregnant are encouraging: 55 percent of women who have myomectomies due to fibroid-related infertility can get pregnant after the operation.
