Five weeks after a hysterectomy what excersizes can my mother participate in?

Question

They 'yanked it al out' as she says. And her doctor says that she can go back to work in two more weeks.

Answer 1

Probably she should wait until she returns back to the doctor for a follow-up and find out how she is doing and then make a plan for exercising.

Answer 2

Five weeks? Nothing! and don't let her, I had this surgery a year ago, and at 6-7 weeks she'll be doing really great, but at five it's still all a nono. She can travel and stuff, but she should even regulate how long she is on her feet, and she still needs a nap every day. Take care of her! I pulled stitches :(

Answer 3

She's had major surgery and shouldn't be doing any exercises! Light walking at max! If she pushes too much she's risking complications including scar tissue (which is painful).

This website has a lot of good information and provides additional guidance with regard to dos and don'ts after surger. http://www.hystersisters.com/

I know it's difficult, you get really stir crazy after sugery. I had mine done last year (was 37) and out of work for 6 weeks...almost 7. But she has to take it easy.

Answer 4

Most women do fine 6 - 8 weeks past surgery. Back to normal except for tiredness due to anesthesia. That can last a year.

Answer 5

Body Flex. It's a breathing technique. TRUST ME IT WORKS I had a hysterectomy myself. I can't imagine going back to work so fast! I bet you it was a MALE Doctor~!

Answer 6

She should have been walking at the very least all along. Did she have a vaginal hysterectomy of an open one?

Answer 7

Good, she has a doctor. ASK HIM THESE QUESTIONS. Duh
