How long after your hysterectomy is it suggested you wait to exercise?

3-6 weeks: Depends on the type of hysterectomy, the type of exercise, and your doctor's recommendations.

Depends: If a woman had an abdominal hysterectomy or vaginal hysterectomy i recommend 6 weeks until can do weight lifting or strenuous exercise. Prior to that walking is fine. Laparoscopic hysterectomy i let patients begin more exercise at 3 weeks. Of course start with gentle exercise and increase as tolerated. Check with the doc who did your surgery.
