Hello,

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr Aimen Nasir. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

There is probably no issue in traveling by air after hysterectomy. You just need to take rest for few days after your operation as told by your surgeon.
and take your medication after the operation as prescribed by the surgeon. And you are good to go by air after proper wound healing.

I hope this answered your question, and
if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regards.
