Psychotherapist, sexologist Pamela Connolly advised partners of women who have survived hysterectomy. To the question of a man who is trying to establish intimate contact with a woman after a hysterectomy.

According to the man, the woman has not had sex with him for 15 years – she underwent a hysterectomy and refused because of the atrophying muscles of the vagina from intimacy “When we were both ready for sex, she started using vaginal dilators and after a few failed attempts, we've been learning penetration sex and we love it. So far she has not reached orgasm from penetration, but she has had it before. How can I help? – the man wrote.

Connolly noted that it is necessary to help the woman relax and not wait for orgasms from penetration, because vaginal atrophy is serious. She also praised the couple for deciding to use dilators and discussing it. “It still takes more time and learning your skills, so continue to enjoy the process and accept whatever the outcome is. Fortunately, she doesn't necessarily have to orgasm from penetration. I hope that instead she will tell how you can give her pleasure during stimulation without penetration,” concluded the doctor.
