What Is The Recovery Time After An Abdominal Hysterectomy For Removal Of Uterus, Tubes And Fibroid?

Hi Dr Grief. Thank you for your time. I had an abdominal hysterectomy Dec 31. Uterus, tubes, fibroid removed. I am still uncomfortably swollen and sore. I have my post appointment Jan 14, and may go back to work (teacher) the next day. Just wondering when the swelling will go down so I can wear clothes again and get out of these pj's! I am 52 and in good health.

Thanks!
Patty Ray

dear dear it is hardly ten days that you got hysterectomy done . Any thing is operated will atke a maximum of six weeks to recoveer Yes but afyter 14 days you can resume your duties . start wearing your clothes But many many precaution need to beed taken
Avoid lifting heavy weight or doin any strenuous act that can result in vault prolapse . The inner wounds need time to heal .The more rest you take sooner will be the recovery.
take the antibiotic cover as prescribed by your physician
And dear go teach the world leavin worries behind take care
