Increase/Decrease Sex Drive after Hysterectomy?

I am 31, had uterus and one ovary removed a month ago. No artificial hormones as I still have one ovary. Any advice would be appreciated.

Answers:
Thanks for the great answer to my homework deli ma here's the one about Histo. I am now 40 and 3/4 and I had a partial back when I was 32; because of severe suffering with endo. Which I'm sure everybody has now, but suffers different medical conditions in regards to. My life has been awesome since! My sex drive of course with the problems I was suffering from has increased triple. In fact I want more than my husband. He wonders where I get all the desire and energy from, and it's from being liberated from that monthly ball and chain. I mean now I can play and not pay either with severe pain or with(no more chance for pregnancy). Not that I don't love my three children immensely!!, but the time and resources it takes with children in this miserable world is exhausting in itself(including homework) Ha Ha. Hey once you have healed completely, never rush recovery you will be on your way I believe to really seeking your true passionate, exotic feelings. Love Yah K.


Abdominal hysterectomy. Complete recovery usually takes 4 to 8 weeks. You will gradually be able to increase your activities. During the first 2 to 3 weeks it is important to get plenty of rest. You may then begin to do light chores and some driving, and you may even be able to return to work if your job isn't too physically demanding.

Avoid lifting during the first 2 weeks after your hysterectomy. By the sixth week you should be able to take tub baths and resume sexual activities.
You should have no change in your sex drive after. As soon as you are healed completely (about another couple of weeks) you will be back to normal. You still have one ovary so you are producing estrogen. Some people say it is better. This may be due to no pressure from unwanted pregnancy if you are married.
i know nothing about lowered sex drive after hysteroctomy.
Still u have one.no decrease or increase sex drive .all is ur mental thinking.
i had my LAVH 5 weeks ago. if anything my sex drive has increased, which is amazing, i didnt think it could get any higher. of course sex isnt allowed yet, but i know everything still works.. the orgasms are a lot more intense than they were before. (TMI? LOL) what date did you have yours? my hysterectomy was july 25. you could also look around on the forum at www.hystersisters.com . there is a lot of good useful information on there.
