Introduction
A full hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the uterus and cervix, and sometimes the ovaries and fallopian tubes as well. This surgery can be life-changing for women dealing with conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or cancer. However, many women wonder how this procedure affects their sexual health, particularly when it comes to the G-spot.
If you’ve had a hysterectomy or are considering one, it’s natural to have concerns about intimacy and pleasure afterward. Let’s explore what happens to the G-spot after a hysterectomy and how you can maintain a fulfilling sex life.
What Is the G-Spot?
The G-spot (Gräfenberg spot) is a sensitive area located inside the vagina, about 2-3 inches up the front wall (toward the belly button). When stimulated, it can lead to intense pleasure and even female ejaculation in some women. The exact nature of the G-spot is still debated, but many women report heightened sensitivity in this area.
Does the G-Spot Still Exist After a Hysterectomy?
The good news is that the G-spot is not directly removed during a hysterectomy. Since the G-spot is part of the vaginal wall and not the uterus or cervix, it typically remains intact after surgery. However, some women may experience changes in sensation due to:
1. Hormonal Shifts: If the ovaries are removed (oophorectomy), estrogen levels drop, which can affect vaginal lubrication and sensitivity.
2. Nerve Sensitivity: Surgery can sometimes cause temporary or permanent changes in nerve sensation.
3. Emotional & Psychological Factors: Recovery from surgery, body image concerns, or anxiety about sex can impact arousal and pleasure.
Possible Changes in Sexual Sensation After Hysterectomy
While the G-spot itself isn’t removed, some women notice differences in sexual response after a hysterectomy, such as:
Reduced vaginal lubrication if ovaries are removed
Less intense uterine contractions since the uterus is gone
Changes in orgasm intensity some women report no change, while others feel a difference
Discomfort or tightness due to scar tissue or healing
However, many women continue to enjoy pleasurable G-spot stimulation after recovery.

Tips for Enhancing Sexual Pleasure After Hysterectomy
If you’ve had a hysterectomy and want to maintain or rediscover pleasure, here are some helpful tips:
1. Give Yourself Time to Heal
Wait until your doctor clears you for sexual activity (usually 6-8 weeks).
Start with gentle exploration before resuming full intercourse.
2. Use Lubrication if Needed
If vaginal dryness is an issue, water-based or silicone-based lubricants can help.
Consider vaginal moisturisers (like Replens) for long-term comfort.
3. Pelvic Floor Exercises (Kegels)
Strengthening pelvic muscles can improve blood flow and sensitivity.
Helps with bladder control and orgasm strength.
4. Explore Different Types of Stimulation
If G-spot sensitivity has changed, try clitoral stimulation, which remains unaffected.
Experiment with different positions and techniques to find what feels best.
5. Hormone Therapy (If Needed)
If ovaries were removed, discuss hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with your doctor to improve libido and vaginal health.
6. Communicate with Your Partner
Openly discuss what feels good and what doesn’t.
Take things slowly and focus on intimacy beyond penetration.
When to Seek Help?
Consult a gynaecologist or a sexual health specialist if you experience:
Persistent pain during sex
Loss of sensation that doesn’t improve
Severe vaginal dryness or discomfort
They can check for scar tissue, hormonal imbalances, or other issues that may be affecting your pleasure.
Conclusion
A hysterectomy doesn’t mean the end of sexual pleasure. While some adjustments may be needed, many women continue to enjoy satisfying intimacy—including G-spot stimulation—after recovery. The key is patience, communication, and exploring what works best for your body.
