Re: recovery time for hysteroscopic resection

[Guest guest]

I had hysteroscopic resection for a 2 cm fibroid 3 years ago--I would not

have felt like going anywhere that night. I wasn't in any pain or

anything, just tired (probably from the anesthesia) and just felt like

sitting on the couch and watching tv. The next day I felt fine and could

have done anything.

I don't remember the quantity of blood afterward--just that it lasted

several days--I don't remember that being terrible, though.

Hope that helps.

I recently had a hysteroscopic resection of a fibroid and polyps. The

procedure took over two hours because they have to snip out the

extraneous stuff a tiny " bite " at a time, thru the scope. Theproblem

for your evening plans is that you will still have plenty of

anesthetic in your system tht evening - my facility gives specific

instruction to NOT Drive - and I'll admit to sleeping much of the 24

hours after the surgery.

Thanks for the info. Luckily, I just found out today I can have the

resection June 13 instead of July 2, so it won't interfere with

anything. I'm so happy they could squeeze me in so soon. I really

want to be done with this.

Now I'm wondering, should I notice a difference my very first period

after that?

Thanks~

I noticed a difference right away, but my GYN at the time told me to give

it 3 cycles to see what will be " normal " . She told me sometimes your first

(and second) period can be lighter or heavier and that's not necessarily

indicative of how it will be going forward. My first one was the way it

was going forward; if it matters, I was on the pill which might have had

some impact.
