How long should one rest after uterine fibroid removal before going back to work? How much rest is still needed?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Surgery for uterine fibroids includes hysterectomy and myomectomy. If you are relatively young, you can undergo myomectomy to preserve the uterus. These are elective surgeries. Once you have completed all preoperative examinations, the procedure can be performed. Generally, you will need to rest for 3 months.
