How long does it take to recover from a hysterectomy?

Once the uterus is removed, it will undoubtedly have some impact on the body. If the uterus has to be removed due to illness, then the body must be well taken care of after the operation to restore the body to its original health. So the following is a detailed explanation of how long it will be best to wait after a total hysterectomy?

Hysterectomy is a relatively large surgical treatment, so you need to go to the hospital for hospitalization after the operation. The time of hospitalization depends on your own medical condition and recovery. Generally, you can be hospitalized within a week if your recovery is relatively good, and it will take longer if your health condition is not so good. You need to get out of bed and move around on the second day after the operation, defecate and breathe, and you can eat after breathing. You need to stay in bed to rest after hospitalization. You may have vaginal bleeding and excessive discharge for about two weeks or even one or two months after the operation. Don't worry, more bed rest is conducive to early recovery. Avoid doing rough work, don't sit for a long time, and don't participate in strenuous exercise for 3 months after the operation. Go to the hospital for a follow-up visit two months after the operation to check the recovery status.

Adjust a healthy work and rest schedule after the operation, arrange your daily life scientifically. Those who stay up late for a long time should adjust a healthy work and rest schedule according to the work and rest schedule, eat more vegetables and fruits, and increase nutrition. Some patients often have mild anemia after surgery, and should be given nutritious foods, such as chicken, duck, fish, meat, etc. When necessary, you can take blood and qi tonic drugs according to the doctor's instructions, increase protein intake, and protein-rich foods include fish, meat, beans, eggs, and dairy products.

After a hysterectomy, you must not be discouraged. A good spirit and mood can maintain the body's physical condition. Hysterectomy is a relatively large operation, and you must pay attention to some postoperative medical care. Good medical care can restore the original healthy body. It should be noted that you must have enough rest after the operation. Don't go to work too early. You must wait until the body has fully recovered for three months or half a year before going to work.
