Recovery after removal of the uterus is divided into 2 stages: early and late.

Rules of recovery in the early postoperative period

The early period after removal of the uterus takes from 5-12 days, the period depends on important factors. During this period, it is worth considering the following points:

If the patient is suffering from sharp or painful pain, she should definitely go to the clinic for a good analgesic;
• In no case should you lift weights in the first week after the operation;
• Timely correct nutrition, which was recommended by the doctor in charge (maximum iron intake);
• Control of the intestine. In case of a problem with the stool, urgent consultation with a doctor;

If you ignore the special treatment, fluctuations in the hormonal background will continue for many years. In order to facilitate the patient's condition in the second period of postoperative recovery, gynecologists prescribe hormonal drugs. They help to adjust the hormonal background of a woman.
