Patient's question:
During a health check-up at her colleague's company, the ultrasound revealed the presence of uterine fibroids. She is now preparing to have surgery. How many days does it take to have a hysterectomy for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
If you want to have surgery for uterine fibroids, then you will need about 1 to 2 weeks to recover, depending on your situation. It is better to take about two weeks off. If you recover well, you can go back to work in about one week. During this time, it is important to rest properly. Surgery can be quite taxing on the body, but if you have a minimally invasive surgery, the damage will be less.
