A member asked:
Had vaginal hysterectomy with anterior/posterior repair, 5 weeks ago. is it safe to vacuum rugs and do mild gardening and gentle yoga exercises?

Gradually: You can generally increase your activity after 4 weeks. If it doesn't hurt it is probably ok. If you feel pulling, tugging, pain, or pressure in the pelvis you are doing too much and should ease up.
