How long does it take to recover from a hysterectomy?

Uterine removal generally refers to hysterectomy. Hysterectomy usually takes about 1 to 3 months to recover, the exact time varies depending on each person’s physical condition, the severity of the condition, and the type of surgery. It is recommended to consult your doctor and follow the instructions strictly. The recovery time for hysterectomy varies according to the nature, location, size and age of the lesion. Surgery can be performed via abdominal, trans-laparoscopic and trans-vaginal routes. If the laparoscopic surgery is performed is less traumatic, recovery is relatively quick, as long as there is no infection or septic condition, the patient can usually return to normal in about 1 month; whereas the hysterectomy via the abdomen is relatively more traumatic, and it usually takes 2 to 3 months to recover; and there is also the hysterectomy via the vagina which usually takes 1 to 2 months to recover. Generally speaking, within one month after the surgery, you should try to avoid strenuous activities and take more rest in order to reduce the gravity pressure on the vaginal wound and allow the wound to heal completely. After one month, it is recommended to carry out some appropriate activities, and the time should not be too long, and also need to follow the doctor’s instructions for regular review.
