How long to rest after hysteroscopy

It is generally necessary to rest for 3-7 days after hysteroscopic surgery. The specific time needs to be adjusted according to the type of surgery, personal constitution and postoperative recovery.

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure. If it is a purely diagnostic examination and there are no complications, you can resume daily light activities after 1-2 days of bed rest, but strenuous exercise or heavy lifting should be avoided. If it involves hysteroscopic endometrial polyp resection, adhesion separation and other therapeutic operations, because the wound is large or anesthesia recovery is required, it is recommended to rest for 5-7 days, during which the amount of vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain will be observed. A small amount of light red secretion may appear within 1 week after the operation, which is normal. If the bleeding exceeds the menstrual volume or is accompanied by fever, you need to seek medical treatment in time. Sexual intercourse, bathing and swimming are prohibited within 2 weeks after surgery to prevent infection. During the recovery period, you can take appropriate walks to promote blood circulation, but you need to avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time. Add high-quality protein such as fish, eggs and broccoli, which is rich in vitamin C, to your diet to help tissue repair.

After surgery, antibiotics such as cefaclor capsules are used to prevent infection, or motherwort granules are taken orally to promote uterine contraction as directed by the doctor. If persistent abdominal pain, abnormal secretions or fever occur, you should return to the hospital promptly for ultrasound review to evaluate the recovery of the uterine cavity. The first menstrual period may be delayed or heavy after surgery, but it usually returns to normal after 1-2 menstrual cycles.
