Hysterectomy Recovery - Exercises after Hysterectomy Surgery

Hysterectomy Recovery can be slower than some would expect, but exercising safely can help speed up healing and get someone back to feeling well again. In this video, I share Exercises after Hysterectomy surgery, from a physical therapist, starting right away, and what to progress to up to 12 weeks out and beyond until someone is back to your normal exercise routine.

    I've had partial hysterectomy 5 months ago and I'm still experiencing alot of pelvic floor and abdominal pain. These exercises really help but I have to pace myself. Can't do too much or I'm out of commission for 3-4 days. Walking is what I do most. Thank you for sharing. This really helps. ❤

I ended up back in the hospital bcuz I was overdoing it. Thankfully that’s all it was I started experiencing heavy bleeding and clotting and it was from overdoing it. Like I told my dr though not all of us have help to be able to take 2wks to recover much less 6.

    Just had a total abdominal hysterectomy 2 days ago. I'm really bloated and using the incentive spiromoter hurts my diaphragm. My mons pubis is also swollen, and it literally feels like my insides have been scooped out. The edges of my sutures hurts everytime I change positions or cough, sneeze, laugh, etc. I'm trying to lay off the pain meds because I think that's what's causing my constipation. I drink plenty of water, eat mostly soups and raw fruits, and I walk around the house periodically and do light housework. Any other helpful advice at this point?
