Having hysterectomy surgery is a challenging situation for any woman. Along with the usual trauma associated with any type of invasive procedure, hysterectomy surgery carries its own blend of physical and emotional issues. Here are a few things to expect after hysterectomy surgery.

One of the first issues to deal with after surgery is the pain. Typically, the patient will be in a recovery area for several hours after the procedure, and then be monitored for a day or so very closely once returning to a hospital room. Medication will be on hand to help with the pain, and it should begin to subside over the next several days.

Do not be alarmed by vaginal bleeding or discharge after the surgery. This is normal after this type of procedure and will slowly decrease until it stops five to seven days after the surgery. In the meantime, change the sanitary pads regularly.

Having hysterectomy surgery will take time to get over. Your energy level will be low at first. If possible take a nap in the afternoon and exercise according to the instructions you are given by your physician. There may be days when you do not want to exercise, but keep in mind your recovery will be helped by following the routine your doctor has recommended.

There may be a tendency to feel a sense of loss after the hysterectomy surgery. It is important to remember that your worth as a person is still what is was before the surgery. Allow others to express their warm feelings for you during this time. Your feelings of depression should begin to lift along with the restoration of your energy level.

When it comes to physical intimacy after surgery, most women are able to resume sexual activity after around six weeks. There are women who report an increase in sensation after hysterectomy surgery. This may be a physical reaction to relief from the pain experienced before the surgery.

It is important to understand what to expect before you have your surgery. Your doctor can help you understand what your reaction may be, and help you come up with constructive solutions to get you through the recovery period.
