Has anyone had one and does it affect your sexual life? My doctor told me that if a gene test comes back positive for a cancer gene in my uterus, that I should consider a hysterectomy. Cancer of the uterus is common in my family. So, could you please tell me if I choose to have this done how it will affect my life and my sexual life. Thank you so much.By the way, I'm in my mid 30s.I'm in my mid 30s.

a friend of mine had one in her 20's and it didn't affect her sexual life any then, keep in mind it will affect your hormones which can effect your mood, mind body and spirit, so you will need to keep an eye on all of that and you would be fine. Don't forget to get a second opinion on the whole diagnosis and options before you decide to do anything. Seriously get a second opinion 1st then decide.lots of luck

Would you have an oopherectomy as well?(where they remove your ovaries) If the doctors only remove the uterus, and not the ovaries that should prevent you from going into early menopause. If they have to remove all the organs, then you are going to experience the whole nine yards of menopause at one time--hot flashes, vaginal dryness, change in sex drive, mood swings. If they do remove all the organs, then depending on your family medical history, the doctors may put you on some sort of hormone replacement therapy, which may be helpful but can be quite risky for certain individuals. Good luck, hope all turns out well.

My mother had a hysterectomy and her sex life is fine because even though they removed her uterus they left her ovaries. If they remove your ovaries it may affect your sexual desire and you will probably need hormones.
