Patient's question:
My older sister has been experiencing abnormal menstruation and some lower abdominal discomfort, as well as abnormal vaginal discharge. She went to the hospital for a gynecological examination and was carefully diagnosed with uterine fibroids. She has just undergone laparoscopic uterine fibroid removal. Hello doctor, how long should she rest after laparoscopic uterine fibroid removal?Doctor's answer:
After laparoscopic uterine fibroid exclusion surgery, rest is generally recommended for about one month. Although laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, the body still needs a thorough recovery period after the operation. If you go back to work too soon, it may affect the complete recovery process and lead to some adverse postoperative complications. Therefore, it is generally advisable to rest for about one month before considering returning to work, which is relatively more appropriate.
