This being said, I am in no way saying you have anything...just that the hysterectomy is not going to keep you from getting STD's and you should be more careful in the future.
I'm no expert, so if I am wrong on this someone correct me!
Yes, you can still get an std. The hysterectomy doesn't change that.
That said, you wouldn't get symptoms that fast from an std. Maybe something else is going on? Why did you have the hysterectomy?
A_guy - I wonder if you are confusing a tubal ligation with a hysterectomy. A tubal is done to prevent pregnancy. A hysterectomy is done only when medically necessary, for conditions that are severely affecting a woman's quality of life, or are life-threatening.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but does a hysterectomy have anything at all to do with STD's? I believe it just keeps you from getting pregnant, but is in no way protection from STD's.
