Some women notice a decrease in orgasms or a decrease in the intensity of their orgasms, and in some rare cases, they are unable to reach orgasm at all following a hysterectomy. Sometimes removing the uterus will sever nerves that are instrumental for some women to climax. Also, the cervix contains nerves that can be stimulated during sex so hysterectomies that include removal of the cervix can cause changes in a woman’s ability to reach orgasm.
