Background: Despite the frequency of hysterectomy, several studies have reported physical and psychological sequelae of this intervention.But : To evaluate the consequences of hysterectomy, their level of importance and how patients experience hysterectomy. Methods: That is a prospective study of 70 patients who underwent a hysterectomy from January 2009 to June 2011 at Pikine National Hospital. The experience of hysterectomy was determined by the physical and psychosocial felt after surgery.
Results: Hysterectomy represented 5.9 % of gynecological surgical activities. The indications were dominated by myoma (57.1%). Hysterectomy was performed abdominally in 78.6% of cases and associated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in 87% of cases. After surgery, new symptoms appeared: hot flushes, night sweats, urinary incontinence and urge incontinence in respectively 65.7%, 54.3%, 7.1% and 11.4% of patients. A proportion of 45.6% of them had resumed sexual activity after 90 days. The fear of pain at the time of intercourse was expressed in 55.7% of cases. A decrease in the frequency of sexual intercourse was found in 54.3% of patients. A drop of pleasure during sex was expressed in 38.6% of patients. Psychological effects were also reported by patients: decreased confidence in 31.4% of patients, feeling of being rejected by her husband in 5.7% of cases, sensation of mutilation in 24.3% of cases.
