Hysterectomy is performed by administering either local anesthesia or general anesthesia. There are various methods through which hysterectomy can be performed. A small incision is either made on abdominal region or vaginal region. Hysterectomy performed through incisions made on abdomen is called abdominal hysterectomy while that performed through an incision made on vagina is called vaginal hysterectomy. In laparoscopic hysterectomy, three or four small incisions are made on abdominal region through which laparoscope is inserted to remove uterus. Laparoscope is a thin, flexible tube. High intensity light and high resolution camera is attached in the front section or part of laparoscope.
It takes approximately 60-90 minutes for abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy. Laparoscopic hysterectomy takes around 120 minutes for completion. Hysterectomy is an extremely safe procedure and may require you to stay in hospital for at least a day. It can be extended depending upon circumstances. Common risk factors associated with hysterectomy are infections, vaginal bleeding, damage to surrounding organs etc. You will need sanitary pads post surgery for vaginal discharge and bleeding. You may even experience vaginal discharge for several weeks after surgery. This is normal and is not a cause of concern.

Avoid lifting heavy weight and doing heavy exercise post surgery. Sexual intercourse is prohibited for few weeks till scars heal and vaginal discharge stops. Walking is the most recommended exercise post surgery as it can add strength to lower body and pelvic muscles.
