How Long After A Hysterectomy Should A Person Lie Flat On The Back?
Hi I had a tah on April 20 this year. Where they left one ovary. I was wondering when it would be ok to lay on my side again ? And if having some pain and discomfort on my right side every so often. Which is the side of the ovary that was left, was normal?

Hi,
After a hysterectomy operation, after 24 hrs you can do side movement on the bed after consultation with the surgeon. It also depends on the type of operation i.e. laparoscopic or open. The laparoscopic operation allows early movements. After 2 days you can stand with support and do movements as per advice by the physiotherapist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
