In radical hysterectomies, both the ovaries and tubes are removed!. In total hysterectomy, the ovaries and tubes may o r may not be removed!. The removal of a woman's ovaries can be detrimental to her sex drive due to the fact that ovaries function to secrete estrogen and androgen (a hormone linked to sex drive)!. The loss or decreased availability of these hormones facil itates the need for hormone replacement therapy to make a woman feel normal again!. Other factor which can contribute to hysterectomy related loss of sexual drive are: partner relationships, frequency of sexual intercourse prior to surgery, and amount of counseling and support from doctors and friends!. If these factors are not positive, women will suffer adverse affects such as decreased sexual drive and depression!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
