I had a hysterectomy in 2019. It was a radical hysterectomy with fallopian tubes and ovaries removed. I was 67 years old at the time. The hysterectomy was for endometrial cancer but I understand the procedure would have been primarily the same regardless of the reason for the hysterectomy. The procedure was robotic and laparoscopic and so I returned home with small incisions in the abdomen. It was a same day procedure. While I was fatigued for about a week from the general anesthesia the little incisions healed quickly. I was told that I would have the same amount of healing on the « inside » as an abdominal incision so not to overdo. I returned home with a list of cautions such as carrying nothing heavier than a grocery bag, no heavy lifting, and no driving for about a week.

May I ask the reason for the hysterectomy?
