Author: Manoj Danwar
Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterus, that’s to say, inability of women to become pregnant. A consultation with your surgeon prior to abdominal hysterectomy or laparoscopic vaginal hysterectomy is must with equal importance to know all about the post hysterectomy problems. Except in some life threatening cases, hysterectomy is not recommendable as there are alternatives to this surgery.
In this article, I’m going to discuss the post hysterectomy complications (side effects of hysterectomy), and recovery from hysterectomy.
Post hysterectomy complications (Side effects of hysterectomy)
Thanks to laparoscopic assisted hysterectomy, the incidence of morbidity cases after hysterectomy has drastically dipped down. Laparoscopic assisted hysterectomy carries a lower rate of risk compared to open surgery. These are some post hysterectomy complications. Post hysterectomy complications are unexpected problems and many women are not affected. But, there are cases where post hysterectomy complications have been reported.
Some of the post hysterectomy problems include bowel injury, hemorrhage, wound infection, ureteral injury, and bladder injury. Elaborating further, post hysterectomy complications involve both short-term risks and long-term risks.
Post hysterectomy complications - Short Term
Short-term side effects of hysterectomy involve:
• Serious post hysterectomy infection
• Severe reaction to anesthesia
• Intestinal problems
• Vaginal bleeding
Post hysterectomy complications Long Term
Long-term side effects of hysterectomy involve:
• Premature menopause
• Constipation,
• Heat flashes
• Vaginal dryness
• Insomnia
• Migraines
• Osteoporosis and heart disease.
True, hysterectomy is an upsetting event. Some women loose their self-esteem and get trapped in depression called post hysterectomy depression, which provokes behavioral changes, while for many, hysterectomy is happy event as it permanently removes the risk of getting pregnant and they freely enjoy sex without any fear.
Recovery after hysterectomy
It takes normally 24-36 hours after hysterectomy to feel pain all over your body including back pain, abdominal pain, shoulder pain, and stiff neck. Recovery after hysterectomy is a crucial time in any woman's life. Recovery after hysterectomy means a woman needs some time to get recovery after hysterectomy.
Recovery after a hysterectomy takes time. Immediately after a hysterectomy, you will stay in the hospital from 1 to 2 days for post-surgery care. Some women may stay in the hospital up to 4 days depending on their recovery from hysterectomy.
However, you need to practice the following advise for the fast recovery after hysterectomy.
• Drink a lot of water & juice
• Mild exercise
• Avoid lifting anything heavy
• Light swimming
• Regular touch with your doctor
• Avoid sex 4 to 6 weeks after hysterectomy
