What to Expect

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.

About this Procedure

Your surgeon will make a cut in your vagina.  Part or all of your uterus will be removed through this cut.  The fallopian tubes and ovaries may also be removed; this will depend on your medical history and the reason for the surgery. 

Your surgeon may also use a laparoscope (a thin tube with a small camera on it), and other instruments that will be inserted into your belly through several small incisions. You will probably spend 1 - 2 nights in the hospital. It will take at least 3 to 6 weeks to feel better. You will probably get tired easily during this time. You may not feel like eating much. You will not have any scars on your skin unless your doctor used a laparoscope and other instruments that were inserted through your belly. In that case, you will have 2 - 4 scars less than 1-inch long. You will likely have light spotting for 2 - 4 weeks. It may be pink, red, or brownish. It should not have a bad odor.

How to Prepare

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.
