Yes, there are. And you will often be guided after any procedure you undergo. Ideally your doctor will advice to abstain from sex for six weeks to two months, following which you will be checked again and given a green light by your doctor. Due to swelling, stitches, inflammation and rest for the surrounding structures to heal during gynecological procedures or even delivery abstinence is suggested. Even when you become sexually active again take it slow, see how you feel, you might have to communicate this with your partner as well so as to know what works for the both of you.

Yes, definitely. First of all get recovered first. There should be no pain/swelling at that place. It takes 15-30 days to recover on average. Also tell yourself confidently that you still have a sexlife ahead. Most of the time, women themselves consider themselves that they won't be able to do anything now. A hysterectomy typically doesn't affect a woman's ability to have an orgasm or sensation in the vagina. However, some women may experience reduced sexual sensation, such as vaginal dryness and less intense orgasms. This is because the ovaries are removed during the procedure, which can affect sex drive due to hormonal changes. But you can still enjoy sex life without fear of pregnancy now. If dryness is there, use of lubrication, estrogen gelly application and treatment of mood swings can change it. You should take time for foreplay and try other forms of intimacy also.

Popular opinionI'm (happily!) sexually active with my boyfriend, and let's just say oral sex is a pretty regular part of our routine. Recently, I came across something about dental dams and... honestly, I wasn't sure if they were just for specific situations or if it's something we should be using every single time. I know they can help prevent the spread of STIs, which is obviously important. But is it overkill to use one every time? Do they, like, decrease the pleasure for him? Please help thanks
