After hysterectomy can a woman still have vaginal orgasm?
-Does the removal of the cervix, and blood vessels of the uterus have anything to do with vaginal orgasm?

Are you sure?
If the cervix and uterus are no longer present, a lot of blood vessels are missing, and that has something to do with the first phase of orgasm.

Is orgasm gone after hysterectomy?

The physiology of female orgasm is comprised of two events basically: release of blood vessel engorgement (which accumulated during arousal phase) and uterine, vaginal and some say, clitoral contractions. After hysterectomy there are no more uterine contractions with orgasm. There are still vaginal and possibly clitoral contractions. Some women perceive all of these while many only perceive some, it varies. As far as the vascular response there probably are less blood vessels to get engorged over time because they are not having to supply the uterus any more.

The most common thing physicians hear from women concerning orgasm after hysterectomy is that it is different but still present and pleasurable. There are some women, however, who say that orgasm is gone. I suspect those women were very sensitive to the uterine contractions part of orgasm. Other women will also admit to problems with sex but it is really because of decreased libido (desire) or decreased arousal.

Removal of the ovaries can affect decreased desire but if estrogen is replaced and sometimes testosterone, that can account for most but, not all of the decrease
