Hysterectomy requires about 1 month of rest, during which time you can exercise properly, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat a light diet, and keep your bowels open to prevent constipation and abdominal pressure. Due to abdominal pressure and constipation, pelvic organ prolapse may result. The following tests are routinely needed to be completed before hysterectomy: cervical anticancer examination to exclude cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and early invasive carcinoma. Those with abnormal uterine bleeding need to undergo diagnostic curettage to exclude endometrial cancer. Total hysterectomy mainly includes the following surgical indications: uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding for which conservative drug treatment has failed, and uterine malignancy. The surgical methods can be divided into transabdominal total hysterectomy, laparoscopic total hysterectomy, and vaginal hysterectomy. Vaginal hysterectomy has the advantages of less pelvic interference and faster postoperative recovery.
