If you have a hysterectomy:
A hysterectomy does not mean:
bowel naturally moves to fill the space.
How will a hysterectomy help you ?
However, there are some possible disadvantages of sub-total hysterectomy:
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
ADVANTAGES
Excellent cosmetic result with almost invisible scars after surgery.
Minimal pain, very fast recovery with discharge from the hospital or surgical center the same day, and back to work usually at seven to 10 days.
Electronic morcellation is NEVER usedthereby eliminating any potential spread of cancer through fibroid removal.
Can be used to remove fibroids and the uterus up to 2,500 g. The average uterus weighs between 70 and 100 g so almost all patients are candidates for this approach.
Recovery
Most women will stay in hospital for about 2-3 days after a laparoscopic hysterectomy, but it could be longer. Your exact day of discharge will depend on the reasons for your operation, your general health and how moothly things go after surgery. It is important to remember that everyone’s experience is different and so it is best not to compare your own recovery with that of others on the ward.
Sex after hysterectomy
We advise you to avoid penetrative intercourse for about 6 weeks, until everything has healed up and you’ve had your check-up with your doctor. You may experience a change in sexual response after the operation. Many women say their sex life is improved because there is no longer discomfort or the risk of pregnancy. If your varies have been removed, vaginal dryness may be a problem during sex. A lubricating gel, which you can buy from the chemist, may help. Your doctor can also advise you about oestrogen cream or hormone replacement therapy.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
The decision to use HRT is a personal one. If your ovaries are not removed, there is no need to use HRT. If your ovaries are removed, your medical team will discuss HRT with you.
