Answer 1

I had one in October. Your not done healing yet. You stay down for 6 weeks to heal properly. If you don't let those muscles get strong and reconnect you'll have big trouble for the long haul. I mean big trouble like a hernia. That takes more surgery. If you have to cough or sneeze hold a pillow over you incision while it's happening. Try it. It makes a big difference. If you can avoid those things though I would try to not disturb it down there. I have gone through a hard time with this I just turned 40, so I can feel your pain. I had a Dr. that mad a mistake on my dnc and I ended up with a complete hysterectomy. If you need more advice or have questions you can send me e-mail I would be glad to talk to you if I can help.

Answer 2

It took me 4 weeks to start feeling normal. Went back to work at 6 weeks and was still tired, sore. Just don't rush yourself. Surgery is traumatic to your body and with a hysterectomy you might also have hormone issues to deal with. Follow the post-op care the hospital or doctor should have given. Using a pillow when coughing and sneezing helps alot! I also found that using a heating pad (on low) for 30 minutes or so helped with the soreness. Basically, use this time to take care of yourself.

Answer 3

Any surgery could take time to heal, it all depenses on the person. My mom got and it actually took more than 3 months before it completly healed. Don't worry, this doesn't mean it will take as long for you, my mom doesn't have a strong body, that's why it took so long. It may be a hard thing to do right know but, be patiant; sometimes it helps.

Answer 4

I haven't had one of those, but have known a number of women that did. It is major surgery and it takes a while to get back into the swing of things. If you have had your abdomen split open to do this, then it will take at least 2 months before you feel better and can vacuum, lift etc.

Answer 5

i had one at 29. it took me 2 weeks to be up and going. everyone told me i healed really fast though. the doc said 4-6 wks, so you are probably doing fine as long as incision site is healing well. give yourself more time!

Answer 6

I settle for complete accountability for each thing I do. there's no person else to blame. each thing I do is accomplished in straight forward terms by making use of me. i attempt to think of before I talk, yet now and back i do no longer. i attempt to think of before I act, yet now and back I act, yet now and back i do no longer. yet I additionally comprehend that i'm in straight forward terms meer mortal and guy. i will constantly have shortcomings...yet I even have accomplishments. And to me, as long as my accomplishments as by making use of a techniques outweighing my shortcomings i'm doing purely advantageous. a guy who would not admit to failure isn't a real guy. each and everyman alive has had failure a minimum of as quickly as in his existence.
