Question : I have had my uterus removed 3 years ago and intercourse has been painful ever since. Do you think I should have another operation to find out what is wrong?

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.

I have read your question and I understand your concern.

In my opinion if pain during intercourse is from operation you had then it would have been painful even without intercourse. So I don't feel it is related to the operation. But we can't exclude any issue without doing any vaginal examination.

Pain can be due to vaginal dryness and your muscles tightness from your emotions.
Hence try to feel free during intercourse and use genital moisture. And if it still continues to hurt, see your gynecologist.

All the best
