A member asked:

I had a vaginal hysterectomy on 1-28-2016. i've been carefully bending and reaching for items with no pain. should still not do these things?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Listen to body: If you are not having pain, it should be fine. Check with your surgeon to make sure there aren't specific issues about your surgery that might change this recommendation, like an incontinence procedure being done at the same time.
