Hysterectomy Support Group

Your Dr should have told you. No matter what kind of hysterectomy you have you have to wait till your 6 week post op check. Your Dr will do an exam to feel the cervix this will tell if your healing nicely. if its a little hard your still healing. Its not to comfortable the first time around. My cervix was still tender but I was told I was still healing after 9 weeks. I hope this helps you..xx..Staci

Yeah I was told 6 weeks as well and will have my post Op appt when I'm at around 5 .5 weeks but since I've lost My cervix I'm terrified at being intimate again!! I'm thinking that things will never feel the same again as before and feel very sad about loosing my cervix.... Ekk!

I too am nervous as well as my boyfriend...my doc didnt tell me to book a 6 week post op exam? what in the world i dont even know if i can take a bath either...confused

Hey amber.... I was told when I left the hospital that I could shower immediately ( and did the same day as my operation) and could take a bath in 1 week... So mabey others can say on here.... Perhaps it depends on if you have a cervix or not left... ??

ok yea i think that if i shower first and clean well i should be able to take a bath....and man i reaaaaalllllyyyy want to take a bath!!!!

Well I know they told me 1 week till I took a bath so I don't see why not especially if you have s cervix left in? Why not call the hospital where you had the operation and ask a nurse? Just to be safe? XX

yah they said i could take a bath...just got out and i feel amazing!!!!

Yipee.... Wasn't that worth it? Now you feel like a brand new woman!!! Lol glad you called them. Xxx
