  • You will be able to return to work if your position does not require manual labor or heavy lifting.
  • You will be able to drive.
  • You will be able to exercise.
  • You will be able to indulge in venereal activities.

After 8 weeks of a hysterectomy, patients can expect to have some mild discomfort and pain. They can also expect to have some vaginal bleeding or discharge. However, it is important to follow the post-operative care instructions provided by your doctor to ensure proper healing and recovery.

Many complaints fade away eight weeks after a hysterectomy when the major healing usually takes place within the first six weeks. however full recovery can take up to several months, and some internal healing is still taking place at this point. Fatigue and occasional discomfort is normal, but one should refrain from very heavy lifting or vigorous activities. Hormonal changes and also the psychological impact of this surgery can lead to emotional responses such as mood swings or sorrow. Routine follow up with the physician is necessary to check on recovery and address issues such as normalizing sexual relations or dealing with menopausal symptoms in case of removal of ovaries.

Household chores after hysterectomy?

Female | 41

To start with light household chores after a hysterectomy and avoid the strenuous activities. For the first weeks, do not lift anything more than 10 pounds to avoid putting stress on this area of surgery. Reintroduce activities such as cooking or light cleaning gradually, but never bend, stretch or lift heavy weight. If you feel uncomfortable or tired, listen to your body and rest. Generally, 6 to 8 weeks after the doctor’s recommendations a gradual return to normal activities is prescribed.

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.

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.

I have a cut injury please help what should I do in this injury

Female | 28

You may observe red and swollen areas, pain, and bleeding. First off, wash the cut with soap and water in a careful way. Next, press a clean piece of cloth against the cut to stop the bleeding. Ultimately, cover it with a bandage for protection. Watch for signs of infection, which are usually redness, heat, or pus, and report them. However, if it looks infected, get treatment right away. Take care and be well!

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.

How much cost of spelenic cyst surgery

Male | 29

 Usually, the price of surgery for a splenic cyst will vary from one hospital to another and may be several thousand dollars. Typical symptoms could be pain in the abdomen, unpleasant sensations, or a bloated feeling of fullness. Apart from trauma, other causes of such conditions also exist as the underlying conditions might be responsible. Therapy could be one of the two, either watching the development or surgery when it's time. Talking to a doctor is an absolute must to get detailed instructions that suit your case, as well as to fully discuss your particular situation.

Recently one week back i got tetanus shot due to small cut on my leg..the leg is fine now but i think the tetanus injection didn't get through well,i got bump on my back and its still not healing .There are no signs of any pain but is this a matter to bother is my concern.

Male | 20

I understand you’re worried about the bump at the site of your tetanus shot. It’s normal to have a bump there, and it might take some time to heal. Your immune system is reacting to the vaccine as if it were a foreign substance. If there’s no pain or redness, it’s usually not a cause for concern. Just be patient, and the bump should go away on its own. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms, it's best to seek medical advice.
