In Mexico it is calculated that one of every three women before 60 years old will be subjected to that procedure. Women with hysterectomy undergo a series of changes that could affect them in different aspects of their lives, impacting in the psychological, social, and anatomical. The objective of this investigation was to interpret the sexual experiences and self-esteem of Mexican women with hysterectomy. A qualitative phenomenological-hermeneutic methodology was used where 11 women with abdominal hysterectomy participated. Results were grouped in 2 main categories: sexuality and self-esteem, and their respective subcategories. In the first category, a decrease on lubrication, which consequently had negative effects on desire, satisfaction, and orgasm was reported. In the second, some alterations characterized by changes on the participants’ perception and thoughts were documented, as well as on their capacities, feelings, and attitudes. The process that women went through after the hysterectomy, influenced the components of their sexuality and self-esteem. The coping time and its favorable result were associated with putting self-esteem above the negative in their sexual life. La histerectomía es la segunda cirugía más frecuente dentro de la ginecología a nivel mundial. En México se calcula que una de cada tres mujeres, antes de los 60 años, se someterá a dicho procedimiento. Las mujeres con histerectomía atraviesan por una serie de cambios que pueden afectarlas en distintos aspectos de su vida, repercutiendo en lo psicológico, social y anatómico. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue interpretar las vivencias sexuales y autoestima de mujeres mexicanas con histerectomía. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa fenomenológica-hermenéutica, en la que participaron 11 mujeres con histerectomía abdominal. Los resultados se agruparon en 2 categorías principales: sexualidad y autoestima, y sus respectivas subcategorías. En la primera, se reporta una disminución de la lubricación y en consecuencia afectaciones en el deseo, satisfacción y orgasmo. En la segunda, se documentaron alteraciones que se presentaban con cambios de percepción y pensamientos, así como en sus capacidades, sentimientos y actitud. El proceso que transitaron las mujeres, tras la histerectomía, influyó en los componentes de su sexualidad y autoestima. El tiempo de afrontamiento y su resultado favorable estuvo asociado con lograr anteponer la autoestima a la afectación vivida en su sexualidad.
