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

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. You may get tired easily during this time. You may not feel like eating much. After your wound heals, you will have a 4- to 6-inch scar.

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.

On the Day of the Procedure

  • You may be asked to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin), and any other drugs like these.
  • If you smoke, try to stop. Ask your doctor or nurse for help quitting.
  • You will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything for 8 hours before the surgery.
  • Take any medicines your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.

What to Ask

To get the best quality of care, be informed! Don’t be afraid to ask for a clearer explanation or to ask questions. Consider these topics when talking with your provider.

Questions to Ask Your Provider

  • What medications can I still take on the day of my surgery?
  • What changes might I see with my body after the surgery?
  • If I have my ovaries removed, what treatments are there for hot flashes and other menopause symptoms?
  • What are the pros and cons of each?
  • What risks are associated with this surgery?
