What should women consider after surgery?
Patients stay in the hospital for a few days to a week after surgery. The recovery time also depends on which surgical method was chosen.
While the internal wound is healing, there may be a discharge of wound fluid for about four weeks. Some women also experience pain or a pulling sensation in the lower abdomen.
After about three to six weeks, patients can usually get back to their everyday lives if they take it slowly. You must avoid overexertion.
In the first six weeks, patients are also not allowed to lift or carry a load of more than five kilograms, and are not allowed to swim or bathe. They should also not participate in competitive sports.
Follow-up care after surgery
The check-ups usually take place every three months for the first two years and then continue every six months.
Many women find it helpful to participate in a self-help group. For example, there is “women’s self-help after cancer”.
Since cancer therapy requires a lot of energy, it is important to replenish your reserves, especially after treatment. A wholesome, nutrient-rich diet helps.
The exercise program should be discussed with the treating doctor and start in the hospital. There are special rehabilitation sports for cancer patients.
What are the consequences after the operation?
Pregnancy is no longer possible. The menstrual period will stop in the future. Sexual sensation is usually not restricted after a hysterectomy
