A member asked:

How long do i need to recover from vaginal hysterectomy? leaving ovaries and tubes

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Varies: Many women are essentially fully recovered in less than 2 weeks. Most have resumed normal activity by 2 to 4 weeks. To be safe, you should plan for 4 to 6 weeks for full recovery - but expect to require less than 4 weeks.
