ResumoA histerectomia, um dos procedimentos cirúrgicos mais realizados no Brasil, é caracterizada como a remoção total ou parcial do útero e, gera diferentes sentimentos nas mulheres, que consideram esse órgão o representante de sua feminilidade e sexualidade. Este estudo qualitativo objetiva avaliar quais as repercussões que a histerectomia causa na sexualidade feminina. Para sua efetivação, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com quatro mulheres histerectomizadas, escolhidas intencionalmente. Essas entrevistas, submetidas aos procedimentos da Análise Fenomenológica Interpretativa, levantaram as seguintes categorias de análise: reações frente ao diagnóstico; corpo e identidade; sexualidade. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que o nível socioeconômico que as participantes estão inseridas interfere no modo como vivenciam a histerectomia. As mulheres deste estudo têm sua identidade pautada no ato de ser mãe e deixam sua sexualidade em segundo plano, confirmando a ideia de que vieram ao mundo para procriação e satisfação do parceiro, excluindo o seu próprio prazer.Palavras-chave: histerectomia; útero; sexualidade. Abstract The Consequences of Hysterectomy in Female SexualityHysterectomy, one of the most performed surgical procedures in Brazil, is characterized as total or partial removal of the uterus, and generates different feelings in women, who consider this organ the representative of their femininity and sexuality. This qualitative study aims to evaluate the repercussions that hysterectomy causes on female sexuality. For its effectiveness, semi-structured interviews were conducted with four hysterectomized women, chosen intentionally. These interviews, submitted to the Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis procedures, raised the following categories of analysis: reactions to the diagnosis; body and identity; sexuality. The obtained results allowed to conclude that the socioeconomic level that the participants are inserted interferes in the way in they experience the hysterectomy. The women of this study have their identity based on being a mother and leave their sexuality in the background, confirming the idea that they came to the world for procreation and satisfaction of the partner, excluding their own pleasure.
