Question 1

When after your hysterectomy did you wait to exercise?

Accepted Answer

There are two types of hysterectomy: sub-total (cervix left in place) and total (cervix removed). I clear my patients who have had sub-total for exercise in 14 days from surgery, those who have had total hysterectomy i clear 6 weeks post surgery.
Hopefully we are talking of laparoscopic hysterectomy: if not, definitely ask your surgeon.

Question 5

I'm bipolar type 1 and 12 days post hysterectomy.
1.how can i manage my mood swing? 
2. can i do some exercise like yoga or just any stretch qith my l

Accepted Answer

Start by asking your GYN MD surgeon if physical exercise of any type is O.K. or not. Secondly, if you are only 12 days post op you are probably still taking pain medication which is a mood altering drug as well. If the bi polar mood swings become unwieldy or unmanageable, then your GYN MD in collaboration with a Psychiatrist may be able to offer an alternative solution.

Question 6

What kind of and intensity of exercise can i do 6-7 weeks post op from a radical hysterectomy to improve abdominal musculature and reduce tummy overha?

Accepted Answer

You want to be very careful to follow your surgeon's lead here. Getting active is an admirable goal, and there's no reason why you shouldn't shoot for a full return of function, or even improvement. But advancing too quickly may lead to muscle strain and set you way back. Start with walking. Strengh exercises might well be guided by a physical therapist, at least at first. Good luck.
