Recovery — Hyster Talk

After surgery

You just had a hysterectomy. Recovery looks different for everyone. What is normal, what is not, and what actually helps.

Honest and specific. Week by week, from the first day home to beyond the six week mark.

What recovery actually means

The recovery information most women find online is vague, overly positive, or written by someone who has never had this surgery. You deserve better than that.

You are not failing. You are healing.
