Before you see your health care provider, learn more about this procedure, treatment or test. Remember that individual treatment plans and patient experiences may vary. This information is provided to help you understand what may happen during your visit or treatment.
You may have all or part of the uterus removed during a hysterectomy. The fallopian tubes and ovaries may also be removed.
The surgeon will make a 5- to 7-inch incision (cut) in the lower part of your belly. The cut is made either up and down or across (a bikini cut), just above your pubic hair. Most people spend 2 to 5 days in the hospital after this surgery. A hysterectomy will cause menopause if you also have your ovaries removed. Removal of the ovaries can also lead to a decreased sex drive. Your doctor may recommend estrogen replacement therapy. Discuss with your doctor the risks and benefits of this therapy. It may take at least 4 to 6 weeks for you to feel better after your surgery.
Sometimes there are things you can do that may positively affect your outcome. Here are some examples. Be sure to follow any instructions given to you by your provider.
