After 8 weeks of a hysterectomy, patients can expect to have some mild discomfort and pain. They can also expect to have some vaginal bleeding or discharge. However, it is important to follow the post-operative care instructions provided by your doctor to ensure proper healing and recovery.

Many complaints fade away eight weeks after a hysterectomy when the major healing usually takes place within the first six weeks. however full recovery can take up to several months, and some internal healing is still taking place at this point. Fatigue and occasional discomfort is normal, but one should refrain from very heavy lifting or vigorous activities. Hormonal changes and also the psychological impact of this surgery can lead to emotional responses such as mood swings or sorrow. Routine follow up with the physician is necessary to check on recovery and address issues such as normalizing sexual relations or dealing with menopausal symptoms in case of removal of ovaries.

A nurse wiped the arm with alcohol and then touched the arm to check the nerve with bare hands and then injected the needle to collect blood. She didn't even sanitized her hand as I saw her drawing other patients blood. Could it transmit HIV or hep b?

Male | 23

The risk of HIV or Hepatitis B infection from the scenario you told me about is extremely low. HIV and Hepatitis B are primarily transmitted through the infection of the blood of the infected persons. The symptoms may include being feeble, jaundice, or flu-like symptoms.

Male | 37

Laparotomy is a type of surgery where the doctor makes a large incision in your abdomen to see inside and fix any issues. It is done for serious problems such as a blocked intestine, organ health issues, or tumors. During the operation, the doctor opens your abdomen and carefully checks and treats the problem. Following your doctor's advice is the best way to achieve the health results.
