How long it takes to recover from a hysterectomy varies from person to person and is mainly related to the type of surgery, the surgical procedure and the patient’s recovery after surgery. Hysterectomy surgery includes total hysterectomy as well as partial hysterectomy, and the surgical approach can be laparoscopic hysterectomy or open surgery. For younger and fit patients, minimally invasive laparoscopic hysterectomy can be chosen with less trauma and less intraoperative bleeding. If there are no postoperative comorbidities, recovery is usually quick, usually in about 1 month. If the patient is weak, combined with other underlying diseases, and chooses the more invasive, common open total hysterectomy, the postoperative recovery is slower, usually taking 2-3 months to recover. However, no matter which type of surgery is chosen, patients should enhance nutrition, eat more protein-rich and vitamin-rich food and exercise appropriately after surgery to help their body recover soon.
