If you're about to have a hysterectomy or have recently had one, it's crucial to understand the red flags that need immediate medical attention and how to manage unwanted symptoms. Many women recover well from a hysterectomy, but it's important to be informed about potential issues that can arise.
As a pelvic floor specialist and women's health physical therapist, I've helped many women navigate their recovery from hysterectomy. There are different types of hysterectomies, and knowing what to expect can make a significant difference in your recovery process. Hormonal changes post-surgery can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, which can be managed with the right guidance.
It's also common to experience symptoms like constipation, incontinence, and fatigue after a hysterectomy. These issues can be mitigated with proper care and exercises.
In this video, I share the top three red flags to watch for during your recovery, including excessive bleeding, severe infection symptoms, and unbearable pain. Knowing these signs and how to respond can ensure a smoother and safer recovery process.

This is very helpful. I had total laproscopic hysterectomy on May 8th and still have both my ovaries. I've been getting plenty of rest, doing very well and continuing to follow doctor's orders until I return to work.

Thank you ❤so much . I had a total abnormal hysterectomy in June and I am still recovering. The pain is very intense on my left side a tingling burning sensation along with the swelling and most irritating is the sweating 😓 omg 😢. I’m very stressed. Aside from that I just want to thank you for this very important message

I hope you’re feeling better. I understand what you felt. I too had intense pain on my left side, especially with increased intra-abdominal pressure from coughing or sneezing. Otherwise, I feel good. I have been having a low-grade temp. My highest temperature was 100.7. This morning, my temperature was back down to 99.1. There is something such as having a fever from tissue trauma. This can make things confusing. My incision looks healthy and I’m not having any other concerning symptoms. I had my surgery on 8/7 and now am 1 week post-op. 😊. Thank you for your post. Makes me feel normal.

Thank you, love your videos. I am really taking them in. I am 8 days post LAVH. Was doing great, walking 30 minutes in the morning..but last day or so, feeling much more tired and uncomfortable. I noticed that when I was taking my pain med Tramadol, it kept me moving, but now that I am out of the med, I just want to sit in the recliner or nap.

Thank you for your comment! Yes, it takes awhile for your energy level to come back. This I have heard a lot from women. Make sure your hydration, nutrition/protein, etc is dialed in too... Appreciate you watching!

Also having a total hysterectomy or being totally menopausal can cause a higher risk of Heart disease . Due to low estrogen levels. Estrogen protects the heart in women.

@lisafred1362 24 күн бұрын

Past menopause not a problem. Ovaries produce no estrogen

Thank you! I had my post op appointment yesterday. So far I am healing well. I also was referred to a urologist who has pelvic floor therapy but they do not have any openings until the last week of August. Today is May 30th. I will be looking at your channel for any pelvic exercises I can start at home before my end of August appointment. My surgery was May 10th so I can't do any exercises that engage my core for 3 more weeks, but after that I am cleared to work out. Which of your videos would be a good starting point for me?

Do you agree that a 6 month double drip chemo every 3 weeks for 6 hours on the drip, is correct after a stage 2 ovarian cancer that had spread hysterectomy? They think they cut out all the cancer... But i'm more scared of the chemo as it damages other organs and lungs, and you can die from.that anyway. What is the very best thing to do please.🙏🙏🙏 I cannot afford to make a mistake. I have huge responsibilities, 8 children, no one to take care of anything, also the only breadwinner, i'm desperate please advice🙏🙏🙏

@dr.dawnhealthypelvis Ай бұрын

I'm truly sorry to hear about your situation, and I can understand how overwhelming it must be for you right now. The best course of action is to consult directly with your oncologist or medical team, as they know the specifics of your case and can provide tailored advice. They can explain why they recommend this particular treatment plan and help address your concerns about chemotherapy side effects. It's also beneficial to seek a second opinion from another oncologist to ensure you're making the most informed decision possible. Additionally, discussing with a patient advocate or counselor might provide some support in managing both your treatment and responsibilities. Your health is paramount, especially given your role as the sole caregiver and breadwinner for your family. Ensure you have a support system in place, whether it's through friends, family, or community resources, to help you through this challenging time. Stay strong and seek out all the professional guidance available to you and when they know your full history. 🙏💖
