Question : I am a 46 year old married woman with a 18 year old daughter. In 2010 I underwent hysterectomy for multiple fibroids. The ovaries and fallopian tubes were left intact. Since 2010 I haven't had any sexual relations with my husband which I now wish to resume. Is there any risk of pregnancy if my husband does not use any contraception or is it safe to have unprotected sex.

Safe to have unprotected intercourse

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I read your query and I understand your concerns about unprotected intercourse.

I can reassure you that you cannot get pregnant if you have unprotected intercourse as you dont have uterus.

No contraceptive usage required by you or husband.

There is absolutely no chance of pregnancy. You dont need to worry about it.
