Recovering After Hysterectomy Surgery

Bắn cá h5The recovery from hysterectomy surgery can be a lengthy one,depending on the type of procedure performed. An abdominal hysterectomy requires the most time, with recovery typically lasting 6 to 8 weeks. The recovery after a vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy is typically much quicker. During the recovery phase, there may be restrictions placed on lifting and activities, bathing and swimming, and sex after surgery. Women who have an oophorectomy, or surgery to remove the ovaries, with their hysterectomy will also experience menopause if they have not already reached that stage before the surgery. Some women find that after a week or two of recovery, the menopause symptoms are a bigger problem than the surgery. Hormone replacement therapy may be recommended to help minimize these symptoms.

After surgery, you may find that you have questions and concerns about what you are experiencing. You must remain in followup with Dr Meenakshi Goyal after your discharge from the hospital and keep her posted about your recovery. In case of any problem do not hesitate to visit the doctor in the OPD.
