Hysterectomy what to expect afterwards?
Hi tomarrow I see the Doctor at Mayo Clinic Rochester and if I have a radical hysterectomy what are the steps to recovery and how long are you laid up and do you have minimal pain and how long is your hospital stay? Just so much going through my brain want to recover fast cause my Fiancé just found out he has Prostrate Cancer this past Friday and I want to be able to be there for him. He has to to decide what action he is going to do, but waiting for me first to see what is gonna happen? I don’t want him to wait to long he needs to get his cancer taken care of also. Thanks

Good morning!
I had my hysterectomy (including my ovaries) earlier this year. I had laproscopic surgery and it went well. I had very little pain or discomfort after the first day. For me going through surgical menopause was the worst part. I am mid 40's and my hysterectomy was performed due to endometrial cancer. I was off work for a month, but totally could have returned after a couple weeks.
Good luck to you and keep us posted.
Hi see my Doc today in Rochester 1st time seeing her at 3 today and blood work before I see her. I also see on my portal next Tuesday Sept 6th I am scheduled for a Pet Scan/ CT Scan at 6:15 am so I will be going to Rochester on the 5th stay overnight, have any of Yous had this done also, never had a scan suppose this is also a procedure that has to be done before the Doc tells you how they will proceed? Thanks
