Hello and welcome, You have had a hysterectomy and now are in pain. Hysterectomy is a major surgery and is associated with some amount of pain. The pain decreases after 48-72 hours and is very minimal at the end of 7 days. Some women continue to experience mild dull pain for a few days to 3 months due to tissue reaction to sutures and the inflammation and healing after surgery. You may be able to conduct your personal care activities by day 4-5 and resume household activities after 15-20 days depending upon the type of surgery and surgical difficulty level. Avoid lifting heavy objects for 2-3 months as it may increase the chance of a prolapse of the surgical site. Eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables along with proteins [ egg white and meat products in moderate amounts] to help in quicker recovery. Hope this helped. Thanks for the query and get well soon. I am here for any further queries. Dr Madhuri Bagde Consultant Ob Gyn
