how to sit after hysterectomy?
How to sit after hysterectomy?

- High sitting in bed position:
- The best position, but avoid sitting in this position for extended periods after hospital discharge.
- Because it increases pressure on the spinal curves of your lower back, thus making it prone to injury.
- Sleeping Wedge position:
- If your upper body needs to be elevated when sleeping or resting, then this alternative might help. It can increase comfort and reduce lower back pressure.
- Tips:
- Don't sit in one place for longer than 1-2 hours.
- Spend more time lying down than sitting or standing. But the remaining time you should divide between walking and sitting.
- Your body posture especially matters when sitting on the toilet so as to avoid constipation after hysterectomy.
If you recently had this operation, get in touch with your doctor right away.
You can call our helpdesk to get in touch with us.
You should know that going into this procedure will leave you with a hanging abdomen. However, it is safe to combine it with a tummy tuck.

- You can shower but don't take a bath for at least the first 2 weeks until your surgeon permits you to.
- Don't insert anything inside your vagina for 4-6 weeks post hysterectomy, as per instructions given by your healthcare provider.
- Avoid driving for 3-8 weeks.
- Don't lift anything heavy for 6-8 weeks after the operation.
- Avoid sexual activities and strenuous physical activities for 6-8 weeks post-operation.
- Avoid swimming until your healthcare provider gives you the green signal.
- To protect your gut system, avoid bowel movement issues, and promote faster healing, you need to avoid the following foods:
- Saturated fats (butter, cheese, palm oil);
- Alcohol;
- High carb food items (white bread, white rice, pasta);
- Processed foods (cakes, biscuits, pretzels).
- We have also written an elaborate answer detailing what household chores you will or won't be able to perform post hysterectomy.

After a hysterectomy, your belly could sag, so you might think about getting a tummy tuck.

I have mouth ulcers in my mouth and tongue, pain in the neck and right ear. Is it cancer? Which doctor, should I consult first?
Pankaj Kamble
Member of team ClinicSpots.
Answered on 14th July '23
It is not necessary that all mouth ulcers lead to cancer. They have multiple causes like a viral infection or stress. I am sure that it is not cancer. But to be on the safe side, it is best that you consult a doctor. To start with, you should contact your family physician who will guide you about your condition. Further, he may refer you to an Oncologist, if he feels you have cancer. Mouth cancers are usually treated by a Surgical Oncologist or a Maxillofacial surgeon having experience in head and neck cancer treatment. If you're looking for which doctor to consult for tongue can also find physicians on our page - General Physicians in India.

Hi, I am 41 year old man, and I need to remove fat from my face as well as double chin. Looking for the surgery but off course with scissor. So what would be the easiest way to Remove it and how long does it takes?
Dr. Deepesh Goyal
Aesthetic Medicine
Answered on 7th Feb '23
According to me, it is liposuction. It can be done in 1-2 hrs. But please note, liposuction is only recommended if you want to remove small amounts of fats. Many people mistake it as a weight loss procedure. I suggest you to visit a doctor for proper examination. Based on that, it will be decided whether you eligible for liposuction or need some other procedure to remove fat from your face and double chin.
