* Why is my wife not feeling better?

I keep thinking my wife should be feeling better. Could she still be in pain? She sleeps a lot! The doctor said 6 weeks to recover. What's taking so long?

We know you want a healthy and active wife but healing does take time. Even if she had a laproscopic hysterectomy, there is still much the body must do to heal. Add to the recovery time if the Hyster Sisters had anterior and/or posterior repair, endometriosis or adenomyosis or any additional surgery during her hysterectomy.

Many Hyster Sisters report back to us that at 4 weeks they are still not feeling well and many are too exhausted to consider returning to work at 6 weeks. (Others are ready to resume normal activities at 6 weeks).

You know the saying, "One picture is worth 1,000 words"? Visit this website www.pelvicfloor.com to look at actual pictures of a hysterectomy so they can see what is really involved.

Check with your Hyster Sister's doctor and listen to her. Feeling exhausted, drained and sore even at 8 weeks isn't uncommon.

Of course if she is running a fever at any time, call her surgeon and take her to his/her offices for a checkup.
