My wife's procedure is next week..I'm watching to know what she may experience and what I can help her with.
Glenn, you're a sweetheart for doing your research!!
I love this! You’re a great husband Glenn!
You’re an amazing husband!
Same here
@@futurenow522 praying for her..and you.
My mother is getting one done tomorrow because she has cancer in the uterus. Please keep her in prayers
💒prayers for your momma 💝
I just found this. Hope your prayers were answered
I just saw this. I just had surgery for same cancer. How is your mom?
Good luck god bless ❤️
How’s your mom?
I had a hysterectomy on Nov 14 and I had no pain after I. I took 1 pain pill the night I got home and took some gas x for the gas but other then that I had no pain. I cooked a full Thanksgiving meal and everything. The hysterectomy was the best thing for me. Today has been 3 weeks and I am still pain free. I have been avoiding lifting heavy things but this was the best decision I have ever made. My doctor said that I was very strong and even during surgery he noticed how strong I was. My incision healed fast but I am experiencing a little scare tissue but I had 3 c-sections and had a lot of that so I did expect that. I went in to surgery with the mindset that I not gonna allow this to put me down. I spoke strength into my surgery and recovery. Good luck to anyone having a hysterectomy.
Ps I am 44 yo by the way
If I may ask how does it feel after the op s.x
You are really strong. I had 1 3 days before and managing with mortrin and Tylenol. Trying to avoid narcotics. But it does hurt as I had both lapro and normal incision.
Fantastic I’ll have mine in few weeks
Just had mine done on the 23rd, absolutely no pain just a little discomfort
I jst had a hysterectomy 1 week ago and they cut vertically. I kept one ovary bc the other one had cysts on it. I had a tumor and fibroids. Thankfully it wasn't cancer! 🙌🏻 I ate dried prunes and it really helped me go to the bathroom. I also used a massage gun on my hips and back that helped tremendously!! U will have a lot of gas! Walking around slowly helped. I wish anyone getting this procedure done the very best. God be you! 🙏🏼😘
Thank you my friend,the gyno told me yesterday that I am having a hysterektomi in three months👌
I have been experiencing really bad abnormal bleeding. My GP is going to get in touch with gyno to put me on the waiting list for this surgery. Is it worth it and how is the recovery process?
@@kirstyallan3078 I had a hysterectomy(laparoscopically)a year ago. I have ZERO REGRETS. Of course, everyone is different. As far as pain,I was in far more pain (fibroids (20😬) horrific bleeding and cramping) before surgery. I didn't take pain meds aside from ibuprofen. She's absolutely right about constipation;you REALLY want to avoid it. I used Traditional Medicinals Smooth Move Tea in addition to a stool softener and it helped exponentially. My recovery was great. Don't overdo it and it's really easy to do! Make sure you have someone at your beck and call essentially. You might not need them like that,but you don't want to find out otherwise either. This video is super informative per my experience. Do yourself a favor,get a heating pad and a neck pillow. Depending on how you sleep normally, you might not be able to. I'm a side/stomach sleeper, so obviously,I couldn't sleep normally. These really helped me be comfortable. Hope this helped,stay safe and heal well💕🙏
@@EN-mh6sr my heating pad is my best friend post op and still 4 weeks post op
@@sylwia7060 Look up on RUclips "How to get out of bed after hysterectomy". There is a great Australian physical therapist who shows how. I found it super helpful.
Just had my hysterectomy this week. One recommendation I have is "Smooth Move" herbal tea and stool softeners! Absolute game changer for me. My bowel had been my main source of pain...also GasX. We do need to talk about these things, lovelies. Trust me you'll need em! Hugs to all my hyster-sisters.🤗
So glad I saw this I don’t like to take the stool softeners. I am almost 4 weeks into my recovery of hysterectomy/prolapse surgery and a perineorapphy and just when I feel better, I’ll have a bowel movement that’s a little on the bigger side. (Sorry in know tmi) and that area will become irritated and sore again so frustrating I will try this tea to see if it will help. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 thank you
Smooth move tea helped me, too. With my symptoms over time, its all I used. More natural remedy.
I just had my hysterectomy a couple of days ago. I agree 100 percent smooth move! I tried miralax etc but smooth move worked like magic.
What is better a laproscopic abdominal or vaginally
My wife’s procedure is this Wednesday. I’m trying to educate myself. I bought her a shower chair and a body pillow by Avanacomfort body pillow to help her sit up and also support her legs. Thank you for posting this video!
Awe that's really amazing you're taking a proactive approach to support your wife. How did it go?
Good husband 👍
🙌
43 and having a total hysterectomy in a few days. Terrified. Haven’t ever had babies but such is life. Thank you for sharing this.
I had mine on 5-20-24. Full hysterectomy. Pain for a few days. 2 days of strong pills and ibuprofen for the rest. Have been walking around the house. Used a suppository for constipation.
@@jenniferhanno2977 Thank you. I just arrived at home.
How are you?
Good to hear. Almost three weeks out. Praying on pathology report from surgery.
@@inthernal5199how are you now ? Mine is in 2 days im mortified, I don’t have kids either but got save my life from this malignant tumor
Thank you. I had a total hysterectomy for uterine cancer less than four days ago and am encouraged by your video. Walking feels good, even if much slower than I've ever been used to.
I am Three weeks post op. Your story is extremely similar to mine. Unbelievable. All the feelings and yes the sense of loss was there and so was all the discomfort and pain for 10 yrs. after my last child. I am so happy I found your channel before my surgery. Definitely going to slowly move my way back into being active once again. Thank you so much for the videos and advice. 💕 I appreciate my body more than ever. I can’t believe how much it has tolerated and taken care of me. I will cherish it and nurture it for as long as I can. 🙏
I had a total laparoscopic vaginal hysterectomy 8 days ago. The bloating, puffiness, and swelling in my tummy and pubic area were more distressful and uncomfortable than any other post op symptoms. I’m just now starting to deflate a little. Any one else have this problem? If you are scheduled to have this surgery make sure you have some waist high stretchy comfortable panties for after surgery. Ice packs helped also. Good luck!
just saw this as I am day 10 after a total radical laparoscopic hysterctomy. I have 5 incisions and no cervix. My pubic area keeps swelling and my belly swells out to 3 times it's size by end of day. I can feel the edema and water weight. I do not feel I am doing too much-- I am in bed off and on all day but I do walk around house and watch tv. I feel pressure on my bladder but am having bowel movements. How long did it take for you to stop swelling?
I'm 3 days post op and I've noticed the swelling in my whole body. My hands and feet look like fat sausages. My stomach is so swollen it looks like I'm 6 months pregnant. Glad not the only one going thru this. We got this ladies!
@@iwantmymoneyback9170 how are you now??
@@iwantmymoneyback9170 are you okay?
I agree I just had mines 3 days ago in I feel horrible I just want to feel normal again the bloating
3 days after complete hysterectomy. Glad I found your channel. It's super helpful. Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
I'm 3 days post surgery myself today and thankful I've saw this. I had 1 ovary removed as well and have yet to pass gas or BM or course.
You cannot possibly give TMI! Women need to share this stuff. I am day 6 after laparascopic total hysterectomy; the pain from surgery was negligible but the pain from the gas and the constipation floored me for almost 2 days! I had my postop check yesterday and the nurse laughed and told me this was very common. Why didn’t they explain beforehand? I am walking around but feeling really tired, achy and pathetic……….that somebody as fit (and young) as you felt tired and achy was something that comforted me. I am normal, not pathetic. Keep spreading the knowledge.
I am 2 weeks post opp. The gas, pain and constipation had ne crying and gripping the wall. Still suffering from constipation. So frustrating
@@sashamarieMFT Take the laxatives. Take them frequently and drink more water. I was given two types of painkiller and three types of laxative on discharge. Tells you what they think the problems might be. Speak to your nurse, or your physio on the phone and get their opinion. Everyone I have seen at the hospital has said the same - it is to be expectedand most people suffer. They recommended peppermint tea and gentle walking to get rid of the gas. Keep moving. Take pain relief if you need it, before you need it. You will get through it.
@@sashamarieMFT same tomorrow 2 weeks bowel pain still an issue.
I just had a hysterectomy yesterday. My ovaries are still in tact but everything else is gone. I’m feeling the gas pains and it’s terrible. I feel so bad for doing this but my bleeding was non stop for 4 months straight. I feel as if my heart heavy as i wanted more children but had complications s as ll of my pregnancies and had to have surcloges. I think I made a mistake in having this hysterectomy
@@lynettealston6283 hang in there. You have had major surgery and it is traumatic. No surprise that you feel bad. With ovaries intact you should not have an instant menopause - that is good in the long run. Gentle walking for the gas pain, with pain relief as you feel you need. Remember, take it early and take it frequently. And don’t forget some laxatives; the constipation sneaks up on you and will make you feel bad as well as anxious. Be kind to yourself and give yourself time. It will get better and feel more natural. Mother Nature always needs time. We are all here and got through this. So will you. Sending you positive thoughts.
This was so informative. I am in my mid 40s and am contemplating laproscopic surgery because of fibroid growth. My surgeon answered my questions, but actual experiences are so helpful
I am in the same boat
Hey, I had my hysterectomy back in October of 2022. I’m 40 yrs old and I only got my uterus and cervix removed. My ovaries were fine. They cut my bladder in 2 different places so I had to go home with the Foley catheter for 3 weeks. That was uncomfortable because your bladder has spasms due to a tube being inside of it. But I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days because my surgery started out as laparoscopic but they had to do the c-section cut due to my bladder being right under one of the fibroids I had. I know I had 3 of them and the largest was the size of a large orange. But the very next day I was up and walking. Not like my normal walk, I was moving slow but I had no pain. The nurse gave me my meds on time even if I didn’t have pain to prevent me from eventually having pain. Even when I was taking a nap I told her to make sure to wake me to receive my meds. Being at home after surgery was ok…. I had pain only due to the spasms in my bladder due to having the catheter. I had to see a urologist which was the dr who repaired my bladder during my surgery. He gave me a medication to help with the spasms because they hurt like hell. I was in pain for 2 1/2 hrs before the meds kicked in. So I made sure to take those on time daily so I don’t suffer with that anymore. Other than that I was fine. They removed the foley 3 weeks later. I got a sonogram done on my bladder to make sure all was well. I saw my Gyno atleast 3-4 times after my surgery. The only issue I’m having now is this sharp pain when I urinate and once I pass gas after I urinate the pain goes away. My guess is due to having a empty space there it may be air trapped inside. But I’m no dr so I’m going to see the Gyno Urologist to give me a better understanding of what’s really happening there. Also, the constipation was a bit difficult. I had stool softeners and miralax to help me to move my bowels. The gas was also a killer. That pain was horrible. I started to go for walks outside to help me pass the gas easier being that I went for longer walks outside instead of the few steps inside the house. I feel better today other than the gas like pain when I urinate. I’m glad I got my procedure done. I knew it was time because my cycle was lasting for 15 days each month I had blood transfusions and iron infusions. I was hospitalized twice for having low iron( level 2) and my hemoglobin was 5.5. Also the day of my surgery my cycle began while I was dressed for surgery and I had the IV from anesthesia in. I went to the bathroom and bled on the floor smh 🤦🏾♀️. That solidified my decision. I’m glad to be free of that. I hope my comment helps someone. Good luck to you all.
I’m watching this as I just had my hysterectomy at 27 years old on Tuesday, April 11th. Instead of the normal 3 incisions for laparoscopic, but they had to make 6 because of the extent of dysplasia!
What helped with my bowel movements, start miralax the day surgery! Also a stool softener with it.
Great video, I’m 4 days post surgery.Still in a lot of pain, pain meds help and I walk around my house for at least 15 mins 3 times a day, that really helps with the gas. I try to eat a protein and fruit each day, haven’t had much else. Take care ladies
You too God bless you
Well Ladies I Finally Join The Group Of Ladies Who’s Had There Hysterectomy Done Cause I Finally Had My Done Last Friday April 9TH & I’m Recovery Slowly But Surely It’s A Slow Agonizing Painful 😖 Recovery But It’s All Good 😌 Ladies All I Gotta Say Is This I’m Finally Happy 😊 To Have Mine Done Once & For All
i just had the tupe of surgery two days ago hope your doing good
@@daisyestrada3285 I’m Doing Very Good This Is My 12TH Day Of Post-OP After Having My Hysterectomy Done On April 9TH
Seeing your video, and knowing that somebody even gives a damn about what we go through, made me tear up a little bit. I felt so alone, and my doctor didn't help that at all. Surgeons tend to not be the warmest, fuzziest people in the world--LOL! So thank heaven for google and for people like you who are willing to give some guidance.
Yes sadly, surgeons have very very limited patient interaction so they don’t really hone that skill, and partially that reason is why a number go into the field because there are those who don’t really like dealing with patients so this job allows them limited patient interactions.
Daniel, buddy..my normal ob was my surgeon and stg he did nit tell me ANYTHING. I have found out all i ness to know from google and youtube
@@gameingpro3788 yeah… I hear that a lot. That happened to once with a surgeon as well, and frankly some doctors too are just shitty. I had a psychiatrist who prescribed me seroquel and after a week on it, it sent me to the hospital because it gave me heart arrhythmia and I lost consciousness and passed out in my bathroom. My husband found me in the morning and thought I was dead. I fell on my right side and cut off blood flow to my right leg which caused massive muscle death and Rhabdomyolysis. I was in there for a week to make sure my kidneys and liver didn’t get overwhelmed. When I had my next appointment my psychiatrist at the time responded to my experience like “oh yeah that’s the most common serious side effect for that medication, happens ALOT.” I’m like, that would have been nice to know a head of time to look out for that particular issue…
Yeah. Well I almost died because of that…
I'm thankful for a surgeon who cared. My nurses cared. My primary care doctor sent over a physician to check on me, who worked at the hospital. He hugged me and wished me well as he left and I was being dismissed that same day, he also recommended I was ready to go home after two days in the hospital. I'm glad everything worked out. I removed my ovaries as well. My doctor advised against hormonal replacement it's been said to be connected to different cancers. Also, ladies I'd you have ovaries do know that now that you don't have your tubes there's no way to tell if you come down with ovarian cancer. The tubes is what alerts you that something is wrong with your ovaries. Without it, she generally won't find out until stage 4 that her ovaries are stricken with cancer. By then of course it's too late. Please talk to your doctor. I just dug deep with my questions and my pc is absolutely brilliant and very transparent. You're never lost with him.
Aww yes women uplifting women! 🌼🌹🌻🌸🌷 That's how it should be! 💪🏼
4 days post OP and I thought I would never say that I wanted diarrhea!! I'm so glad for it now! What a relief!! Don't eat too many dried prunes but when ur desperate...constipation is the worst! Thank you so much for ur video!!
This is me today!!!! 😭 post op day 4 I just want to empty my bowels so bad. I’m so nauseous!!
I’m so sorry, I’m getting ready to have a hysterectomy and I was reading the comments and your comment made me laugh on wanting diarrhea. Thank you for that
Glad you’re recovering!
@@laurianneforbes7968 I just had one. TMI warning. The first number 2 after the surgery was so painful. That thing is comparable to childbirth. Omg I was crying on the toilet. The shower after was the most pain I've ever felt in my life. In the shower I was crying, screaming and praying.
@@naturegirl2110 oh girl, I feel your pain! I hope your recovery goes well and you heal quickly!! Meanwhile I hope they gave you pain meds that work! 🫶🏻
@@laurianneforbes7968 Yes I was only on pain meds for a few days. I did over do it 2 weeks post op and woke up in so much pain the next day
Thank you so much for TMI! This is so helpful, seriously don't apologize 💚
1 week post hysterectomy and good lord!! The constipation!!!?? from one extreme to the other, now I have diahrrea!! And I sneezed today!! This is not fun! but thank you for your video, so very very helpful.
I know it's hard but it definitely gets better!
I'm day 3 in recovery. I had the sensation to sneeze and I knew it wasn't going to feel good so I basically stopped it. 😓 I laughed when I saw that. I have had to cough and that was terrible enough
Loved this video. I’m 6 days post surgery and yes the constipation is excruciating. They reopened my caesarean sight and left both ovaries. I usually bounce back really quickly, but this procedure is very serious, and recovery for me is very slow. Thank you so much for these tips, I wish I had found your video sooner 💕
I'm watching this to know how i can support my mum when she goes through her surgery

I had my Total abdominal hysterectomy bilateral ovaries and fallopian tunes removed 5 days ago. It hurt but i have been walking quite a lot. Thank you for your videos it helped me a lot.
My wife also had abdominal hysterectomy and oophorectomy uterus plus two ovaries removed 4 days ego, but it's really hurts 🤕 can you please tell me is it safe to get total hysterectomy or what are the side effects of doing it
I’m here because my wife is going through this next month and I want to know how best I can help her. I’m taking the first week off and working from home for another 5ish weeks after that.
I feel pretty helpless and a little worried since there’s not much I can do, but I want to know what I CAN do.
Glad you watched and WANTED to help and learn for her great hubby!
@@sweetteagrits3822 So far we are on the last bit of week 4 of recovery. She had to alternate between Tylenol and Ibuprofen, and was given a script for Oxy, but never even needed it. She gets winded still, and she thinks things are settling into their new homes 😂
What can/should she be doing to get her stamina for activities back up to normal? She’s a hospice nurse so I can’t really tell her what to do, but I can make suggestions! Thanks for your information!
2nd day after the Hysterectomy surgery. Glad I found your channel.
Same here. Hope you heal quickly and soundly!
I hope you are feeling well!
What days are the most painful? I wanna be prepared. I go next Tuesday. Thx
@@onetwo681 in my opinion, the 2nd and 3rd day were the worst. After that, should be just sore or tender.
Thank you so much D's Mom. I am feeling nervous. The information that I've received is really helping me.
Yes it is interesting that you still have cramps. Darn....a period without a period lol. This was very informative thank you. Also your are very beautiful. 🙂
I am glad that i watched your video. My doctor did not explain to me that having this surgery can cause dementia and heart failure.
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m at 3 weeks out. Hanging in there. Same surgeries!
I had a partial hysterectomy at the age of 17 after being diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Thank you for speaking up!
Can a 13 year old get one
I have a question: can you still do regular activities like ballet after you get it without having to worry about hurting it??
@@tysheasmart3770 there was a case were a 13 yo did get one, but it’s not recommended
How old are you now, if you don't mind?
How are you feeling now? Did you keep your ovaries and cervix?
Thank you that was really helpful. I am 60, and because I kept getting polyps and continued irregular bleeding, for past 7yrs, gynaecologist recommended that maybe I should go for hysterectomy. Just the uterus and Fallopian tubes were taken out. I did have constipation for a week, and since I prefer natural form of laxatives so was eating ripe papaya which definitely helped me. I am back to normal now after 2.5 weeks, but I do have bloating issues and whenever I go to the washroom, have pain in the mid/low section of my belly. I don’t see my gynaecologist for another 3 weeks, but I guess I can call my family doc to see what’s going on. The only thing about my family doc she puts her patients on meds right away. As a child always hated meds, and with my mom passing away with liver/ bile duct cancer, everyone in my family now stays away from meds as much as possible. Anything else anyone can recommend here would be great. Preferably natural form of cure. Thanks.
Take psyllium husk, wheat husk, ripe bananas, prune juice for constipation
I am 2 weeks post op and the constipation thing the first week was actually traumatic. I spent 2 days unable to eat and just crying from the pain. Don't just rely the stool softeners they prescribe. I wish I had reached out sooner and taken some other medications before it got so painful.
Also drinking as much water as you can stand while you are awake in the days right after surgery. 😭
This is very helpful. I just learned yesterday from my doctor that she would like to do a hysterectomy. I'm in my 50's and I have been in menopause for 4 years. I never had surgery in my life and never has children, so I am terrified to say the least (especially since I am terrified of needles). This video has helped calm my nerves a bit. Thank you.

Thanks so much for saying I will back to normal. 15 days ago I underwent total hysterectomy due to fibroid. And I am so very tense about my future health.
Three days post op & I found you. I have been blessed with an excellent surgeon and the pre-op teaching & prep was excellent. I am def investing in pelvic floor exercises, I never want any kind of surgery again and will do everything I can to get and stay strong again. Subscribing!

Wishing you all the best with your surgery.🙏🙏 Did they do a biopsy? Having a hysterectomy in 3 weeks due to heavy bleeding& pain.
Wishing the best!
Hope you are healing well 🙏
2 weks post op myself. I hope uour doing well.
Had the robotic hysterectomy today am day 2 Post-Op. They left my two ovaries, thank God. The pain is very uncomfortable, praying for a quick recovery. Thanks for this info, I def have qns for my Dr 2weeks from now.
Abdominal hysterectomy & bso in 4 weeks to remove 20 cm multiple fibroids. At 59 post menopause - there isn't much information out there for the older mature woman and the impact of such major surgery on hormones, if any are left at that age. More definitely needs to be done. Thank you for the helpful post op care tips. Sharing your experience is invaluable. I will definitely follow up and ask for a referral to a pelvic floor physical therapist.
Thank you so much for this !!!
I had my surgery 3 weeks ago.
Constipation is real and I thought I was really on it even ahead of time... but I finally got it sorted and all is well now.
I'm still feeling hormonal ( I kept my ovaries) but my hormones still feel wonky.
I dont feel quite like me all the time and my exhaustion still comes and goes. Walking helps a lot because the fresh air is great and I feel like it makes me feel stronger.
These videos make me feel light at the end of a very long tunnel. Thank you xo
Good luck on your recovery!
Hey there I also have constipation. How did you get it sorted?
@@veroniquewagenaar5579 lots of water !! I took a stool softener as soon as possible . Also tried to keep my body moving even if it hurt so slow walks around the house etc !! And tried to take less pain meds if my pain was better . Eventually it got better xox thinking of you ! Oh also making sure I ate some good fruits and veggies warm soups etc !
@@danielleelizaharpz I'm now in the start of week 3 post and drinking fibre gel. Will try to increase my water intake. And when I go it's painful which is not a lot. Not as per normal you know. Thank you for the advice.
@@veroniquewagenaar5579 oh my that’s awful !! Hopefully a stool softener will help and try snd move your body it helps push things along ! It took awhile but things went normal ! If you have to grab a laxative from the store ! I’ve never don’t fibre gel but too much fibre can be rough and make it harder to go . Good luck xox it does get better
I had a vaginal hysterectomy (kept ovaries) 40 years ago - all I can say is listen to dr and take it easy - I felt good early on and overdid it and regretted it.
I will be having a total hysterectomy in 4 days - thank you for better preparing me for this surgery - it's going to be more extensive that I realized before this video. The surgeon told me I should be feeling "pretty good" after 2 weeks and back to normal after 6 weeks. Thanks to your information, I won't have unrealistic expectations.
Take the stool softener from day 1. I'm 7 days out and my body is moving well but responds to new foods differently. Also have GasX on hand, it's painful. I wish you the best.
I had one two weeks ago, the referred gas pain (in shoulders and chest) is the worst (almost worse than the incision, in my opinion). Gas-X and stool softeners until you are finished with pain medication and have bowel moments - highly recommend miralax as well! Use a rolled towel up against your stomach when walking and when using the rest room until you feel more comfortable. You will do just great! Have a good support system the first week/week and a half at the very least - Good luck!
Extremely helpful, thank you, thank you!
*Hello beauties, I'm 2 weeks post surgery. I had a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy and not did it hurt!!!! I'll be honest in saying that after 6 days no bowrl movement I WAS IN AGONY. The gas pain hurt me too. I stayed on top of the water intake increased & a stool softener. When it finally happened I honestly thought I'd won 7 lotteries!!!!*
Right?!?! Thanks for sharing!! That is such an important thing to share :)
@@JessicaValantPilates Mam is coughing is dangerous after hysterctomy due to climate changes and all?
Due to some dust particles?
Hru now
@@safhocane9629 I am completely healed of the Hysterectomy pain. I healed very well thank you so much
Thank you. God bless you
I had a hysterectomy six months ago. I thought I wasn't going to go through pms. I still get mood swings like if I'm on my period, I get emotional, cravings, bloating, and cramps. I don't have my uterus and fallopian tubes. I literally thought I dodged a bullet. Nevermind. 🙄🤦♀️
I'm starting 5 weeks after total hysterectomy was going well, but yesterday it's like I slid 3 weeks back after a coughing fit with a cold. Hoping I didn't blow something. Gonna give it a couple days before getting concerned...but it's a mind bender. I've been so good, and one bad cough 😩 poof.
My doctor had me taking Miralax early. I had no constipation issues. DEFINITELY take stool softeners after!
@@linniemmmm6434 I want to say it was the day before surgery.
That’s good advice I will ask my doctor about that thank you
Any suggestions if miralax doesn't work? I have had to take it before. After 9 doses of it I still didn't poop for four days afterwards.
Thank you for this great informational video. This is the best video on RUclips.
God bless you! you look
Wonderful.
I’m 5 days post full hysterectomy and feel great! I’m walking everywhere, driving and ready to go back to work. My procedure was robotic laparoscopic and so far so good!
Sounds great!
I’m scared to drive. I got another week.
I heard those were the easiest, my gallbladder was removed laparoscopic...easy peasy and thanks, my dr doesn’t want to give me a hysterectomy... I have a teen in college 13 In middle school and a5 yr old... I’m done
@@jusme9400 That’s because you don’t want to have anymore kids doesn’t mean you have to get your womb ripped out
This is super helpful!! Thank you so, so much!! I'm very, very scared...but, so hopeful to feel so much better!!
I had a total hysterectomy on 23 April this year. It was a very painful surgery, but it was my last resort after bleeding for 6 months straight and having chronic pelvic pain. I'm waiting for life to get better, but I'm in less pain since I'm recovering at home.
I had an operation the same day as you in Athens, a total hysterectomy. The scar is going well but I am defined in the genital area, it hurts a lot and I can't walk comfortably. You have such symptoms❤
@r-jproductions1343 I'm better thanks. I had a fibroid that caused the bleeding, no cancer. Life has gotten better, no worries of pain or bleeding. It's normal to be in pain the first week, the second week it gets better.
14 days post op, i had a total hystrectomy, a massive tumour removed plus a hernia repair, i was doing ok until i had a massive bleed from the wound, also was given antibiotics that have made me feel so ill.
I'm not taking any more as the side effects are worse than any surgery.
i suffered some kind of anaphylaxis in recovery and was covered from head to toe in a red raised rash, then a few hours after surgery i had a bleed from my wound.
nightmare,
wind pain is the devil and no pain pump will help with that.
bowel movements are scary but I'm there thankfully.
i thought i would be much more mobile than i actually am but the setbacks have took a toll.
i aim to be back swimming in 4 weeks so fingers crossed x
thankyou for the info x
Thank you so much! Home taking care of my wife and this was very helpful.
Had a full hysterectomy July 6, my uterus collapsed, i have a c section scar, my doctor said it was like a octopus it took 95% of my cervix my tubes are gone also, I still have my ovaries was premenopausal at 34 so I'm getting ready for menopause. This is week 4 now.
very good session and it will help so many people.
I am getting my hysterectomy tomorrow and my right ovary removal. This is really helpful.
I had a complete hysteroscopy 6 weeks ago as of today - I was diagnosed with uterine. cancer stage 1 - I surgery was successful and
I just turned 26, and have my total hysterectomy on Monday. Thank you so much for this information.💜
Good luck with your surgery wishing you the best.. I'm 27 having my hysterectomy on friday.
😍😍😍
@@hallie-dawn1022 good luck to you! I’m one day post-op and so far the worse thing is all the trapped gas in my chest and shoulders from anesthesia.
@@anonymousanonymous8874 hoping all that pain goes away soon. Thank you. I appreciate it.
I hope everything did go well with your surgery 🙏🌺
Thank you so much for posting this deeply personal content - really appreciate the calm explanation of what to expect in recovery :)
I had a hysterectomy last Wednesday with two different suspensions as well. I found you by researching prolapse and I wanted to thank you. for all the information you’ve given me as I’ve navigated this unknown territory that no one seems to talk about. I’m very early in my recovery and walking is still a great challenge.
Hi I’m one week post op and have the worst back pain when I move around .
did you have vaginal wall repairs and Sacrospinous Fixation? Was it all done vaginally? How did the recovery go? How long did it take?
Was it all done vaginally? How did the recovery go because i already have a bad back and have just cancelled my scheduled surgery
Not too much info. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Thank you so, so much. You are helping me and countless others to prepare for our POP surgeries!
Great information my girlfriend will have something like this and i am trying to gather information to support her in my best way possible
Thank you- this is very helpful and reassuring. I can attest to a regimen of Colace (3) and alternating with Mira lax 3x a day and finally had movement on day 3 post op. That pain was very uncomfortable. Nurse to me to not hold my breath and small pushes. I wish more people talented about this.
Many many thanks - I had hysterectomy 6 days ago, your video helps me understand what going o with me and i feel really really encouraged but the constipatuon though
I had hysterectomy 5 days ago. I’m understanding what’s happening inside with these videos.
I had prune juice and papayas yesterday with stool softeners to get rid of constipation, but ended up in diarrhea.
Today, I’m feeling much better.
@@dinushisamarasekara5925 thanks a lot prune juice helped.
There is a tea with Senna and peppermint that helps you go to the bathroom it is 100% natural
I'm having a hysterectomy November 1st, it's taken 3 doctors and 8 years!
Still amazed with the immediate healing i received from Dr.ALUDA on RUclips, now i'm free from my multiple fibroids permanently and i say only God will reward you sir..
Thank you! This information was extremely helpful
I haven’t finished this video yet but the part where you mention how it can take up to a full year after surgery to feel normal is so true. My first surgery was in 2015 for gallbladder and I never felt normal again. A year later was appendix and endometriosis related. A few months later I discovered hernias where 2 of my gallbladder surgery ports were. Had those ‘fixed’ in 2019. Hysterectomy is booked for a few days from now and I will need to go back later this year to fix hernias (previous surgery failed). The whole “take it easy” thing is no joke at all and I wish someone would have told me that feeling ‘normal’ could take longer than the 6-12 weeks so I didn’t overdue it because I ‘should have been fine’. Thank you so much for sharing that and I hope someone hears this and it saves them from any further complications!
I have to have a hysterectomy on Friday. I just turned 28. I'm freaking out. Thank you for this video ☺️
I just had one 2 weeks ago. I woke up with some pain, after the first few days I was up and moving around. I hope it goes well for you. Btw I drank tons of water.
@@Whendidweloseit. that's great to hear. Thank you! I hope you're doing well ☺️
Best of luck!
I just had one a week ago. No major pain. Not even mild pain just a little cramp here or there. And I was freaking out before too. Praying you have a successful surgery and recovery
@@tflo73 I'm having a lot of pain 😔 I had to see my doctor yesterday and I had to have a full exam. He made me feel like I was crazy for what I was feeling and had felt 🥺🥺 I'm still having problems urinating and other (TMI) things. I'm so happy you are doing well 💜💛
I had a hysterectomy 17 years ago. My doctor put me on HT for a little post surgery but shortly was told i could stop HT because I was 21 at the time. Now 17 years later, I was literally just informed its super important that I am on HT now. I am very scared of the negative effects of lack of proper hormones all these years.
you are so welcome!
What was the reason for the hysterectomy?
@@gimygaming8655 endometriosis
@@mysteriousmysterious9251 I'm so sorry that happened. Did you ever have kids beforehand, how was that struggle?
what is HT
Dear Jasica what if a person had already some degree of prolapse and what would happen after the procedure? Please answer
I got a hysterectomy today and I'm so glad that I found this video! I'm having a lot of trouble peeing because it is so painful. Is there anything I can do to make it easier?
I just had one last week. Just drink a lot of water and walk some because the gas pain is ridiculous! How are you feeling now?
@@diandrajohnson9831 I hope your recovery goes well! I feel so much better. I ended up taking ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and the pain went away after a couple days. I accidentally popped a few internal stitches the first week but it wasn't bad enough that they needed to go in and fix it.
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Just had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. Can’t wait to start PT.
Good luck on your healing!
I.had.mine 2 weeks.now and constipation have me and am seeing spotting my doctor say its.normal

So glad I found you. As a RN I knew post op hyst exercises are important but no details. You videos are my go to 4 weeks post hyst and I am so wanting to get back to yoga and to feel myself. Each day better and in will get there. Great videos and information. ( age 49 post of hystertomy ( I already had ovaries out so well versed on hormone needs for women) .
Thank you for the informative video. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer 15 months ago and I have finally made the decision for the removal of all my reproductive organs. I think the decision was brought on by the news I had developed lung cancer. The relief that this was a new primary site and not a secondary from the endometrial cancer is indescribable. This has spurred me on to say yes to the hysterectomy. I feel better informed now I have seen your site. So I would like to say thank you for taking most of the fear of the op ...and what comes after away😘
Hey how are you doing now? Hope you are good. My prayers to you 🙏
I'm having surgery for the same reason. It's scary buy I'm hoping it's going to best the best decision
thanks!!! I'm 6 days post-op this info is greatly appreciated!!
Glad it was helpful!
I had prolapse and rectal prolapse repair surgery 7 months ago. Does anyone else still have internal pain at the incision sites? Some days it's tender/burning, feels almost like a rug burn.
Thank you. Mines is scheduled for next week
Thanks for this video! I also enjoyed your Prolapse safe exercise video. I'm two weeks out from a total laparoscopic hysterectomy due to some pretty big uterine fibroids. I was super diligent about the stool softeners and fiber every night, and didn't have too much constipation, but oh man the gas pains were the worst! Also, my throat was just so raw from being intubated, it made me cough and that was just horrible. I am a fitness instructor so it has been really difficult for me to not want to jump back into my workouts.
Wat happens when we cough is that dangerous ?
Is that safe to cough or sneeze due to some climate issues and all plz do reply
Agreed the gas pains man they hurt
How many of you were completely over the top anxiety ridden before your hysterectomy? I am scheduled to have one September 11th and for some reason I am absolutely terrified that's something bad is going to happen. I've had two previous surgeries from my doctor, he removed a fallopian tube and an ovary the following year this was back in 2012, he is a master surgeon and wrote an amazing book about minimally invasive hysterectomies but for some reason I am just absolutely terrified! Is this normal or is it my intuition? I hope I'm not alone and feeling this way.
Thank you!! I’m having surgery next week & these tips are VERY helpful! ❤️
I wish you the best!!
Same!!!
Iam having my surgery Feb 20 in 2 days iam actually scared and not ready mentally the challenge for me is being able to move around since I live alone and have absolutely no help I guess I have to take it one day at a time and don’t over do things and rest as much as needed
Hey, I had my hysterectomy back in October of 2022. I’m 40 yrs old and I only got my uterus and cervix removed. My ovaries were fine. They cut my bladder in 2 different places so I had to go home with the Foley catheter for 3 weeks. That was uncomfortable because your bladder has spasms due to a tube being inside of it. But I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days because my surgery started out as laparoscopic but they had to do the c-section cut due to my bladder being right under one of the fibroids I had. I know I had 3 of them and the largest was the size of a large orange. But the very next day I was up and walking. Not like my normal walk, I was moving slow but I had no pain. The nurse gave me my meds on time even if I didn’t have pain to prevent me from eventually having pain. Even when I was taking a nap I told her to make sure to wake me to receive my meds. Being at home after surgery was ok…. I had pain only due to the spasms in my bladder due to having the catheter. I had to see a urologist which was the dr who repaired my bladder during my surgery. He gave me a medication to help with the spasms because they hurt like hell. I was in pain for 2 1/2 hrs before the meds kicked in. So I made sure to take those on time daily so I don’t suffer with that anymore. Other than that I was fine. They removed the foley 3 weeks later. I got a sonogram done on my bladder to make sure all was well. I saw my Gyno atleast 3-4 times after my surgery. The only issue I’m having now is this sharp pain when I urinate and once I pass gas after I urinate the pain goes away. My guess is due to having a empty space there it may be air trapped inside. But I’m no dr so I’m going to see the Gyno Urologist to give me a better understanding of what’s really happening there. I hope my comment helps someone. Good luck to you all.
I’m 10 days post op from AB HYST/ Panniculectomy and I feel like I’m healing very fast, I have to make myself slow down so I don’t over exert myself.
I'm 46 and having a hysterectomy but keeping my ovaries. This video helped me to ask my doctor questions. Reading some comments also helped me. I will take any advise.
Have you adviced to take hormonal therapy by your doctor??please let me know...
Si happy found you video I just have a hysterectomy yesterday thank god keeping my 2 ovaries . Thanks for you help
I had mine 2 weeks ago. Take it easy and good luck with your recovery 🙏🏿
Me too, I had my surgery yesterday.
How is the recovery process as I'm getting put on the waiting list for surgery
Thank you for sharing
i had my RH 5 days ago. i am feeling sluggish and quite depressed but im thankful that my bowel and bladder work perfectly almost righ after the surgery. I do have a numb feeling in my upper leg. Hope that fades. And now i have to wait for the result..i hope i'm cancer free.
🙏🏻A prayer for you. I had mine 5 days ago and results were very positive! Stay positive ❤️
I'm still numb after 10 years
The numb feeling is from removal of lymph nodes. Lots of times you never get feeling back.
Hope you’re cancer free darling
Hi i will have a full uterus removal surgery next month and I am pretty anxious about the possibility of doing sport after. ( football, parkour, basketball) I know that it will take time but I hope that will be able to go back to my activities one day. I am 23 y/o so hopefully, I just might heal quickly:)!
how is it now?
Thank you for this info! I'm having a hysterectomy in May/June and I want all the dirty details!!
Jessica,
Thanks you for your tips before and after Hysterectomy and Prolapse Repair. With the help of your time and research, I found the appropriate surgeon who will be doing my surgery this Friday! You have encouraged me to look forward to a successful surgery and renewed lifestyle!
Sincerely,

I just found out yesterday I have to have a hysterectomy I haven’t stopped crying I am so scared to know I’m even going through this but this pain is unbearable. ❤️
I had a abdominal hysterectomy August 5th.. I was extremely anxious.
I’m 3 weeks post op. Besides having gas, everything went well.
Wish you all the best…❤️
Thank you, and I am glad to hear your doing good. ❤️
I know, it's tough and there will be changes in our bodies. Try to keep your ovaries if you can. l saw they can be reattached too maybe? So they stay alive longer.
@@aryastark3148 Yes ma’am, is it good to keep them even if I’m not having anymore children? I know they said your hormones can be out of wack after the surgery
@@shantemilburn5044 keep your ovaries if possible! If they remove them you start menopause right away.
I'm really late.. This is Excellent information. I'm 4 weeks after my procedure. I'm going to start exercising today.
Glad it was helpful!
