When I was discharged after mine I was given a leaflet of what I was allowed to do each week. The 1st week was total rest & you will need it. I was off work for 13 weeks. Everyone is different. Do not rush anything as it will only set you back. You have the rest of your lives together for sex & pleasure but only 1 chance to full heal xx Best of luck to you - mine really was a life changer xxx

This was the healing time when my mom had hers but they do it key hole now so I think healing time is alot less. You'd be better off asking your Dr's about all these things because they will be the ones to give you the best and most useful advice

Hope everything goes well with the op!

Erm, seeing to each others needs... well I put on my big boy pants and cared for her like any grown up should, without wondering when she'd do the right thing, and get it wet.

As for her needs, empathy? Lot's of that worked really well. And tea.

Time to heal may be slightly different for everyone, speak to your Dr as they'll know best but I think it was a couple of weeks minimum, maybe a tad more.

Was it different, not to my knowledge, maybe for her? Did it affect the results we're used too, not a jot, thankfully.

Good luck with it all though, fingers crossed for you.

Sorry, prefer a more normal response like, let him jizz on your face after you had your insides scooped out like raspberry ripple soft serve?

You asked, you got. I don't care who did the typing.

If my being so fucking wonderful pushes you into thinking I'm white knighting, well that might be on you.

Good day, sir, I said good day.

Make sure you wait long enough, so you don’t fuck up the healing

Plus points, it can actually hurt less, especially if cervic removed (and any causes of problems)

Down side for me, I used to get strong uterine contractions when orgasming, I obviously don’t get that now, so it has changed that, they are still lovely, just different

I’m off for a week now, but happy to answer any q’s if you message me

"Plenty of oral I don’t think that needs to stop but I’m no doctor"

It’s not a good idea, as there is a lot of internal stitching, and it’s easy to damage that.

No prefer non judgmental responses! Thinking he is not looking after me is just bull. Thinking it has to be the man weiting is bull. I wondering about others experiences and how they can help me!

I had a total hysterectomy 4 years ago and I would say it depends on type of surgery you have. I had open abdominal surgery and it’s the best thing I’ve done was back in the gym after 6 weeks rest and after that I was scared at first to have sex but it’s no different. If you opt for key hole surgery there is more vaginal trauma and bruising and some people take a lot longer to recover.

This is a time when the man needs to put the other person first and not worry about his own needs until fully recovered.

I know it’s a huge potentially life changing event for a woman, hope it goes well and take your time recovering, a few months of abstinence would likely be worth it long term

Wife had a hysterectomy when she was 30 due to issues. That was 20 years ago. Sounds a bit horrific and young to have it happen but we didn't want more kids and she welcomed the removal herself.It ended up being a huge positive rather than a negative shall we say.

Anyway, if I recall, she didn't feel up to anything for about a week and when she did, we kept it to external stimulation for a week or two as well. I think it was 3 weeks after surgery that she "took a ride" so to speak but in the two weeks before that we where doing everything but penetrative sex.

If you dont have one, just invest in a wand and keep it on stand by is all I'm saying..

Good luck.

Its not for contraception! Health issues and it wouldn't be easier for a man to lose his testicles so that was a stupid thing to say

Firstly, best wishes for the op on Monday my lovely. I hope it goes well and recover is straightforward for you.

I had a hysterectomy 7 years ago. Hoped for keyhole surgery but once in theatre they needed to remove via the sun roof option. I had a very neat scar just like a c section. I had my cervix removed but retained my ovaries (my choice)

From a returning to sex perspective - you will obviously listen to your doctors advice & your body. Your hormones will be fluctuating and this can make you horny as you would already know.

I had penetrative sex about 2 weeks after surgery, it was very gentle for the first few weeks. You also need to be careful to avoid getting infections and I don't mean STI, I mean being touched with unclean hands and saliva for example- I am not saying you or your partner are unclean but just this is something you need to be aware of as you need to heal internally aswell as externally.

I remember that by week 2 I was starting to feel rather frisky and was practically begging my fwb for sex... oh let's be honest I was completely begging him. He was nervous incase he hurt me or we cause a problem, initially we had "soft play" everything but oral or penetration from anything (fingers, toys, penis).

As a couple you will be able to enjoy lots of closeness, the connection and lust for each other will still be there and it isn't long before you're thoroughly enjoying your sex life once again.

Best wishes both and fingers crossed for Monday

I wasn’t aware it wasn’t for reproductive issues so having a pop when all I was saying was it’s a lot harder for a woman to recover from is just spiteful when it was said with good intentions

Hi there, I Nilly had a hysterectomy 8 years ago, best thing ever... avoid penetrative sex for 6 weeks then all good to go... I was incredibly horny after it and Willy had amazing sensible self control, so lots of non penetrative sex worked OK, although wouldn't want to do 6 weeks again...actually had ffm 6 weeks after and mfm 8 weeks after that...all was fine and no issues

You entered a post about a hysterectomy and thought a lady would have a major organ removed for contraception… schools need to spend more time on education and less time on whatever’s the fuck they taught you

I seriously doubt that Gemma’s been fighting for this op for years and the pain she gets has hospitalised her several times so removing the womb instead of the many other less invasive options for contraception is as likely as the government having our best interests

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

It will depend what type of hysterectomy you have.

If you have opted to have your ovaries removed you will go into menopause. That may affect your libido.

I had a full vaginal hysterectomy 15 years ago. My recovery time was much shorter than for other methods, however it did weaken my pelvic floor muscles.

I hope all goes well. It's not an easy decision but I wish I had done it much sooner and not lost so much of my life to pain.
