Myomectomy

Recovery time varies significantly depending on the type of myomectomy performed. For abdominal myomectomy, hospital stays typically range from 2-4 days, with a full recovery taking 4-6 weeks. Patients may experience pain, fatigue, and vaginal bleeding or spotting during this period. Activity restrictions, including heavy lifting and strenuous exercise, will be in place. Minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, and robotic-assisted myomectomies generally involve shorter hospital stays (often 1-2 days or even outpatient for hysteroscopic) and quicker recoveries, usually within 2-4 weeks. Pain is typically less severe, and patients can often return to light activities sooner. Regardless of the method, it's crucial to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions, attend follow-up appointments, and gradually increase your activity level to ensure proper healing and minimize complications.
