@therealdoctorrich: Will Hysterectomy Ruin Your S3x Life? 🫣 Will a hysterectomy ruin your s3x life? It’s one of the most common, unspoken fears women have before surgery. In our latest video, Dr. Rich breaks down the real medical evidence regarding intimacy after a hysterectomy—and the truth is incredibly reassuring. ✨ Data from tens of thousands of patients shows that a hysterectomy for benign conditions (like fibroids, severe bleeding, and endometriosis) does NOT worsen s3xual function. In fact, because the surgery eliminates chronic pelvic pain and heavy bleeding, many women report their s3x lives actually get much better! But there is a catch: proper healing is everything. Dr. Rich explains the anatomy of the "vaginal cuff" (where the uterus is removed and the top of the vagina is sutured closed). To prevent severe complications like a wound breakdown, most surgeons mandate a strict 8-week waiting period before any s3xual activity. We also dive into factors that slow down your body's recovery timeline, including: 🚬 Cigarette smoking 🩸 Poorly controlled diabetes 💊 Certain autoimmune medications Knowledge is power!
