Do you need bed rest one month after hysterectomy?

One month after hysterectomy does not require bed rest. Patients are encouraged to move early after hysterectomy, and it is recommended to get out of bed as soon as possible according to the recovery of the patient’s individual physique. There are two main benefits of early activity: first, the activity can passively promote the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, which is conducive to the recovery of gastrointestinal function, that is, conducive to early exhaustion. The second is that by getting out of bed, the contraction of the muscles of the lower limbs can be promoted, thus facilitating the recovery of blood circulation in the lower limbs and preventing the formation of venous thrombosis in the lower limbs, which is crucial. Therefore, the doctor will repeatedly tell patients and their families about the precautions to be taken after surgery, one of which is to move as early as possible after surgery.
