Brief Answer:
Yes. It can hamper orgasm.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Hysterectomy can diminish sexual function either directly because of the disconnection of the nerves and blood vessels that supply sexual energy or indirectly via the loss of critical hormones if the ovaries are removed or cease to function. Sensation to the vagina, clitoris, labia, and nipples can be diminished by hysterectomy. This loss of sensation can hamper sexual function.
The vaginal cuff itself does not hamper orgasm but without uterine contractions orgasm is never complete. So, this will hamper your ability to have orgasm.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
