Is Travelling Okay After Partial Hysterectomy?
Question: Can I fly 10 days after a partial hysterectomy that was performed laparoscopically, if I wear compression tights and do not do any heavy lifting?
Brief Answer:
Yes it is possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since the surgery was done laparoscopically, it is not likely to cause much stress on the abdominal wall but the internal stitches do need some time to heal. If your post operative period is uneventful- no fever or pain abdomen or a vaginal discharge or any other complication then you can travel by air after getting the proper fitness from your operating gynecologist.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
