What is a hysterectomy?

A hysterectomy is an operation to remove the uterus and, usually, the cervix. The ovaries and tubes may or may not be removed during this procedure, depending on the reasons for the surgery being performed.

Why is a hysterectomy performed?

Common reasons include painful or heavy periods, pelvic pain, fibroids or as a part of therapy for cancer. You should have a clear understanding of your reason for this surgery. If not, please ask your doctor.

  • No strenuous exercise or intercourse for 4-6 weeks.
  • Walking is the best activity following surgery. You can walk up and down stairs, outside, and on a treadmill. Walking will keep your circulation going and build back your stamina.
  • Iron – to help build back any blood lost during surgery. Either Fergon or SlowFe – 1-3 times a day along with 1,000mg of vitamin C (helps with the absorption of iron).

DIET AND BOWEL ISSUES

  • Avoid foods that cause gas such as broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts.
  • No alcohol if taking narcotic pain medications.
  • Chewing gum helps with bowel function.
  • Walking helps bowel function.
  • Expect some gas discomfort/pain. Gas pain can be relieved by walking, taking medication (Mylicon, Gas-X) and chewing gum. Bending your legs while lying on your back may also help.
  • Bloating (“swelly belly”) is normal for up to 2-4 weeks and will go away by itself. Surgery irritates and slows down the intestines and they retain more gas and stool.
