Hysterectomy is a surgical operation performed by a medical practitioner to take out a woman’s womb. The womb is the place where an embryo matures throughout a woman’s pregnancy. There are examples when the ovaries and fallopian tubes are taken out as well.
After you have left the hospital during the first two or three weeks, it’s essential for you to have enough rest. With time you will be able to do many activities the way you used to do in the past. By having enough rest you will be able to recover faster as you will limit some problems such as gas pains, pneumonia, and blood clots. It’s also good for you to avoid carrying heavy loads during the first and second month after you have undergone the hysterectomy.
In case you have undergone vaginal hysterectomy, you must know that it will take a shorter time for you to recover compared to the when you have undergone abdominal hysterectomy. With the vaginal hysterectomy, you may take from four up to six weeks for you to recover fully and start during the normal activities that you used to.
