A total uterine excision usually requires about 1 to 3 months of rest.
Total hysterectomy is mainly indicated for uterine diseases such as abnormal uterine bleeding and uterine fibroids. Generally after a total hysterectomy, the clinical recommendation is to rest for about 1 to 3 months, depending on the size of the surgical trauma and the presence of postoperative complications.
If the trauma of total hysterectomy is relatively small, the recovery is relatively good, and there are no complications, the rest period of about 1 month will be able to return to normal work and life.
If the total hysterectomy is more traumatic, the recovery is relatively slower, or there are complications such as postoperative infections, you may need to rest for about 2 to 3 months before you can return to your normal work and life.
Therefore, you need to pay attention to rest after total hysterectomy, and follow the doctor’s instructions for postoperative care, keep the local area clean, and do not have intercourse for 3 months after the operation.
