How long does it take to recover from a hysterectomy?

Patient's question:

Left ovary size is approximately 2.95 x 1.38. Right ovary size is approximately 2.79 x 2.03. The uterus is retroverted, with a size of approximately 5.29 x 5.48 x 4.51. The uterine wall shows heterogeneous echoes and an irregular shape. The endometrial thickness is 0.92, regular, and slightly non-homogeneous. Unequal-sized spherical hypoechogenic areas can be detected in the myometrium, covering about 2/3 of the area. The largest diameter is approximately 2.55, and the smallest is about 0.78. The myometrium shows coarse granular echoes. The cervix size is approximately 3.43 x 3.22.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a hysterectomy is a major surgical procedure, and the wound recovery time is approximately 7-10 days. In addition to a wound in the lower abdomen, there is also a wound at the vaginal stump. The vaginal wound takes longer to heal compared to the abdominal wound, taking about 10 days. Therefore, during postoperative care and recovery, it is important to pay attention to this characteristic.
The occurrence of uterine fibroids not only affects a woman's life but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
