Can someone please tell me, how is Total Hysterectomy Surgery for remove fibroids in UK? A lot will depend on which method of surgery is used. In the UK I believe that the majority of hysterectomies are still performed through an incision in the abdomen, but some are performed by way of the vagina and others through laparoscopy. I had a hysterectomy some years ago that was performed by an incision in the abdomen. Following surgery, I experienced some pain, but was given pain killers to help and I was not too uncomfortable. The one thing to remember, when you are first able to get out of bed following the op, (and if you've had the same type of surgery) you will feel that you want to bend forward when you walk - don't do this! Even if it means walking very slowly, hold your body up straight. When I went home, I was told not to do very much for sometime, but with a family to look after, I did what I felt I could comfortably do, although I certainly didn't lift anything for a while. Our body soon lets us know if we're overdoing it. I had a full-time, sedentary job and was told to expect to be away from work for the usual 3 months, but I was able to return to work exactly 2 months after my op. Good luck and try not to worry too much, although it is only human nature to be fearful and you wouldn't be normal if you didn't experience some anxiety. I have to say that I felt really marvelous once I'd had the op and recovered - better than I had for years! (Obvoiusly, the other two methods are less invasive and the way you feel and the recovery time will differ to my experience). Try this site www.hystersisters.com It will answer all your questions about hysterectomy before and after surgery. There is the opportunity to chat with others who have had the same experience. It's a great site.In the meantime try not to worry, I'm sure it will be fine. Good luck. My cousin had this and says she has never felt better in her life now she is all healed up. Go for it and good luck love. Cousin. Try and have keyhole surgery only a little incision made in your tummy recovery soo much quicker and not nearly as painfull.I had it.no problem It was done in January and i had cosy mornings in bed and all better come the summer.Its really only the incision which causes the pain.So if you can choose keyhole .Good Luck!!! my mom had about 20 fibroids she looked pregnant the biggeszt one was the size of a rugby ball. hope it all goes well. my mom was drivin 7 weeks after I had fibroids and had to have a emergency hysterectomy i was in absolute agony with them , it was also my first operation i was in so much pain i wouldn`t have cared what they did, After surgery you are very sore but they give you pain killers you bleed for a few weeks it takes about 3 months to fully recover I know it sounds silly but i also had period pains for months afterwards I would say go ahead and not to worry its really not that bad Later on you will feel like a new woman |
