After a hysterectomy, it's important to follow your healthcare provider's advice regarding exercise and physical activity. In general, it's recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for the first six weeks after surgery to allow your body to heal.
After six weeks, you can gradually begin to increase your activity level and resume exercise. It's important to start slowly and listen to your body. You may experience some discomfort or pain during exercise, so it's important to stop if you experience any pain or discomfort.
Low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, or cycling can be good options to start with. You may also benefit from exercises that focus on strengthening your core and pelvic floor muscles, such as Kegels.
It's important to speak with your healthcare provider before starting any exercise program after a hysterectomy to ensure that you're following a safe and appropriate plan. They can provide guidance on when to start exercising, what types of exercises are safe, and how to progress your activity level over time.
