How to tell you’ve recovered after a total hysterectomy

Whether the uterus recovers after total hysterectomy needs to be judged by combining physical examination and imaging examination.
1. Physical examination: firstly, check the healing of the abdominal incision, if the incision is well aligned, without redness, swelling, fluid and other abnormalities, the abdominal incision will be judged to be healed; secondly, a gynecological examination should be carried out, to check whether there is any abdominal pressure and pain, mass, and healing of the vaginal cut-offs, if there is no abnormality, then it means that the recovery can be achieved after the operation.
2. Imaging examination: gynecological and pelvic ultrasonography will be performed after the operation. If there is no obvious pelvic mass, fluid accumulation and other abnormalities, it means that the postoperative recovery is good.
If total hysterectomy is performed due to benign diseases such as uterine fibroids or adenomyosis, no abnormality is found in physical examination and imaging examination, it means good recovery.
If tumor reduction including total hysterectomy is performed for malignant tumors of the ovary or uterus, and subsequent treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy need to be performed according to the type of disease and degree of malignancy, the postoperative recovery of this case should be judged in conjunction with the effect of the subsequent treatments and the prognosis.
