Hysterectomy: What NOT to Do After Surgery
You’ve just conquered a major surgery. Congrats! Now, it’s time for the recovery phase. But before you dive into Netflix binges and endless naps (which are allowed), let’s talk about some things you shouldn’t do after hysterectomy surgery.
Think of your body as a delicate flower after surgery. It needs gentle care to bloom back to its former glory. So, put away the gardening gloves and avoid these post-hysterectomy no-nos:
- No Heavy Lifting: Your inner superhero might be itching to save the day, but your body needs a break. Leave the grocery bags and the kids to your support system.
- Forget the Gym: We know that working out feels amazing but now’s not the time. Let those abs rest and recover.
- Say No to Stress: Easier said than done, right? But try to keep your cool. Stress can slow down healing.
- Avoid Strenuous Activity: Dancing like nobody’s watching? Not today, superstar. Gentle walks are your new jam.
- Ignore Your Body’s Signals: Pain, fatigue, or any unusual symptoms? Don’t brush them off. Your body is talking to you.
Remember, every woman’s recovery journey is different. What works for one might not work for another. Always follow your gynecologists‘ advice and listen to your body.
