Swelling In Stomach. History Of Having Robotic Hysterectomy 3 Weeks Back. When Is It Safe To Start Exercising?
Hi Dr. Grief, I had a robotic hysterectomy and kept my overis on July 19th.. I am coming up on 3 weeks. When should I expect the swelling to go down? I look like I am 5 months pregnant. Also, I was wondering when it is safe to execise? I'm not feeling up to it now, but would like to be back in shape by Oct.
Thanks,
Diana

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
Wait for atleast 6 weeks to start with your exercises.
Light exercises in the beginning.
Now you can reduce abdominal fat by strict dieting.
diet and exercise after 6 weeks will definitely reduce the abdominal bulge.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Post operative you will have some amount of pain and swelling due to tissue trauma during operation.
You can get USG abdomen to see for any intraabdominal fluid collection as you have bloated abdomen.
You need to take rest minimum for 6 weeks and later on you can do minimal exercise like slow walking and avoid weight lifting ang bending exercises for 3 to 4 months.
Your tissues inside abdomen needs to heal properly. which needs rest
Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further examination and management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
