Hysterectomy study seeks best stitch for better sex life
NCT ID NCT07228351
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at different methods doctors use to close the vaginal cuff after laparoscopic hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). The goal is to see which technique helps preserve vaginal length and improve sexual function. Researchers will measure vaginal length with ultrasound and use a questionnaire to assess sexual health in perimenopausal women who had surgery for non-cancer reasons.
