Many women can still experience orgasm after a total hysterectomy. Here are some important points to consider:

  1. Orgasm is possible: The ability to have an orgasm depends largely on the nerves and blood flow to the clitoris and surrounding areas, which are usually preserved during a hysterectomy.

  2. Emotional and physical factors: Psychological well-being, comfort with your body, and physical healing all play important roles in sexual satisfaction.

  3. Changes in sensation: Some women may notice changes in sensation or lubrication, but these do not necessarily prevent orgasm.

  4. Hormonal effects: If the ovaries are removed during surgery, hormonal changes can affect libido and vaginal health, but hormone replacement therapy can help manage these effects.

  5. Communication and support: Discussing concerns with your healthcare provider or a sexual health specialist can provide personalized advice and support.

If you have specific concerns or experience difficulties, consulting a gynecologist or a sexual health counselor can be very helpful.

I'm curious about something: I've got PCOD and my doctor told me to take Duphaston starting from the 16th day of my cycle for 10 days. I've been consistent with taking two tablets each day since day 16, but now it's been about six days since I stopped and I haven't gotten my period yet. There's no chance I'm pregnant since there wasn't any intercourse. Do you know what might be going on and what steps I should take next?

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've been having this dull pain under my left armpit that seems to connect to my breast, along with some pain in the upper back on the same side. This all starts happening about 10 days before my period. I actually made a note of it because it's been pretty consistent. Around a year and a half ago, I also experienced stabbing pain in my left breast along with back pain. I had mammograms done at two different hospitals back then and they said everything looked fine. They suggested I take Vitamin E tablets, which I did for a while, but even after stopping them a year ago, I'm still having these issues. Could it be related to my cycle, or should I be worried about something else?

Table sigmoflam two times a day or as required after food. if Their is any swelling or node under armpit, so consult a general surgeon.
