- High sitting in bed position:
- The best position, but avoid sitting in this position for extended periods after hospital discharge.
- Because it increases pressure on the spinal curves of your lower back, thus making it prone to injury.
- Sleeping Wedge position:
- If your upper body needs to be elevated when sleeping or resting, then this alternative might help. It can increase comfort and reduce lower back pressure.
- Tips:
- Don't sit in one place for longer than 1-2 hours.
- Spend more time lying down than sitting or standing. But the remaining time you should divide between walking and sitting.
- Your body posture especially matters when sitting on the toilet so as to avoid constipation after hysterectomy.

You should know that going into this procedure will leave you with a hanging abdomen. However, it is safe to combine it with a tummy tuck.

After undergoing a hysterectomy, it is important to take it easy and avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous activity for several weeks. When sitting, it is recommended to use a cushion or pillow for support and to avoid sitting for extended periods of time. It is also important to stay well-hydrated and to follow your doctor's post-operative instructions.

After a hysterectomy, sitting is merely the time to facilitate your recovery. Do not proceed with the bend-over technique – use your legs to squat and rise. Pick sturdy chairs with high backs and armrests. Avoid the heavy lifting, forcing pain and take regular breaks. Talk to your doctor for customized recovery plan with particular recommendations as to the proper posture. Pay attention to your body and try focusing on gentle motions along with relaxation.

Symptoms of ovarian failure after hysterectomy?
Female | 36
The symptoms of ovarian failure following a hysterectomy may include hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. Menstrual patterns may change, and if ovaries were taken out, they will stop menstruating. Mood changes may include mood swings and irritability. Besides, low levels of estrogen may cause changes in libido. Ovarian failure can also impair bone health, which may influence bone density. If these manifestations occur, it is critical to seek the advice of your health care provider for proper assessment and intervention.

Male | 19
When the skin sticks to an internal organ, this is called adhesions. Adhesions can occur following an operation and may cause pain or discomfort when lifting heavy objects. If these adhesions are causing problems, it may be necessary to consult a doctor regarding possible solutions.

A nurse wiped the arm with alcohol and then touched the arm to check the nerve with bare hands and then injected the needle to collect blood. She didn't even sanitized her hand as I saw her drawing other patients blood. Could it transmit HIV or hep b?
Male | 23
The risk of HIV or Hepatitis B infection from the scenario you told me about is extremely low. HIV and Hepatitis B are primarily transmitted through the infection of the blood of the infected persons. The symptoms may include being feeble, jaundice, or flu-like symptoms.

I had my gallbladder operation in the year 2021 .Why I am having sharp needle like pain after drinking hot milk tea for 21 days .Near the incision area I have red swelling.
Female | 65
This could be a case of surgical site infection. Usually, this happens after surgery where there is an incision made thereby causing redness as well as swelling around where you were cut. It might help if you keep that place dry after cleaning it every once in a while but try not to touch too much or else there might be more pain. Make sure to visit your doctor so they can figure out what else needs to be done about this.

Mera laparaotomy karwane ke liye doctor ne bola hai per mujhe ye bho bola jaa raha hai ki is operation me mere pait ko beech se poora khola jayega. kya ye sach hai?
Male | 37
Laparotomy is a type of surgery where the doctor makes a large incision in your abdomen to see inside and fix any issues. It is done for serious problems such as a blocked intestine, organ health issues, or tumors. During the operation, the doctor opens your abdomen and carefully checks and treats the problem. Following your doctor's advice is the best way to achieve the health results.

bitten by dog , Please help me doctor Fast
Male | 25
When you have a dog bite, the area may hurt, swell, and turn red which could also bleed occasionally. Clean the wound softly with clean water and mild soap because it’s important after which you apply some antibiotic ointment or cream then cover with a dry sterile cloth or adhesive bandages. Make sure you visit a doctor for some checkups to ensure everything is okay since there might be more treatment needed like a tetanus shot among others.

I had caesarian 18months back but now I missed my period and I had home test where it was positive. I dont want a baby now, and I have gone to the doctor but he said that if you have gone through caesarean then you have only one option, that is only surgical abortion. And I want mtp. What should I do? please help
Female | 25
If you don’t want pregnancy, then you will first have to get your sonography done, to see for how many weeks you have been pregnant. Second, how to approach this issue also depends on the number of months for which you have been pregnant, and if it's in the range of medical termination then you will be prescribed pills for same. You can approach gynecologists - Gynecologists in Bangalore, let the clinicspots team know if your city is different, and I can be consulted as well. Take care.
