How long does recovery take after laparoscopic hysterectomy?
1 month ago
I've been advised laparoscopic hysterectomy and I'm mainly worried about recovery. I have a desk job and can't take a very long break from work. How long does it usually take before normal daily activities feel comfortable again?

Recovery after laparoscopic hysterectomy is generally faster than open surgery, with most women resuming light daily activities within 2–3 weeks. For a desk job, many patients are able to return to work within 3–4 weeks, though this varies based on individual healing and your doctor’s advice. It’s important to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for at least 4–6 weeks, and you should consult your surgeon for a personalized recovery timeline.
