How long does it take to recover from flatulence after hysterectomy

After hysterectomy, the recovery time from flatulence varies from person to person. Short-term acute flatulence usually improves significantly about 24 hours after surgery. A longer period of chronic flatulence will follow the evacuation, and recovery often takes 1-2 weeks to return to the preoperative state. In case of postoperative complications, such as local hematoma formation, bloating can persist for 1-2 months or even longer in some women. Post-hysterectomy bloating is also associated with surgical trauma. Most minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopic or transvaginal surgery will result in earlier postoperative deflation, while traditional open surgery will result in later deflation. It is important to get out of bed as early as possible after surgery to facilitate early deflation and postoperative recovery. You cannot eat normally before exhaustion, you can only drink millet porridge, lotus root powder and other liquid food, and you can gradually resume normal eating after exhaustion. You should eat less sweets and drink less milk, soy milk and other foods within 1-2 weeks after the diet returns to normal to prevent aggravating abdominal distension and causing chronic exhaustion difficulties. If the abdominal distension is very obvious and the exhaust time is significantly prolonged, it may be related to postoperative hematoma, intestinal adhesions, intestinal obstruction, etc., and should be promptly treated by a doctor.
