Sexual awakening after appendectomy
hey! not sure if it belongs in here but had no luck on other forums
I'm 22 years old with a family history of endo, often struggle with infections. had my appendix removed (laparoscopy) last week, it was awful BUT now I'm constantly horny and get aroused very quickly. what's weird is before the surgery my sensitivity was low, sex didn't feel good, orgasm was so hard to achieve I gave up. it even hurt sometimes. thought I was asexual or too depressed. now it really feels amazing, ten times better than before, any kind of stimulation.
also I'm on antidepressants (Zoloft) so it really surprised me. before or after antidepressants sex felt like nothing, but after surgery I'm suddenly hooked?
not complaining, but anyone has any idea what could have happened? kinda worried the effect might reverse itself. it'd be a bummer

Did the doctor take out anything other than the appendix, such as removing some endometriosis? (Or could that have happened incidentally with the surgery?) If so, possibly the improvement comes from that. Here's an article that touches on known improvement in sexuality after surgery for endometriosis. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10686762/

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
