Your Recovery

A hysteroscopy is a procedure to find and treat problems with your uterus. It may have been done to remove growths from the uterus. Or it may have been done to diagnose or treat fertility problems. It can also be used to diagnose or treat abnormal bleeding.

You may have cramps, discharge, or light vaginal bleeding for several days after the test. This may last longer if the hysteroscopy was used for treatment. If the doctor filled your uterus with air, your belly may feel full. You may also have shoulder pain right after the procedure.

This care sheet gives you a general idea about how long it will take for you to recover. But each person recovers at a different pace. Follow the steps below to get better as quickly as possible.

How can you care for yourself at home?

Activity

Rest when you feel tired.

You can do your normal activities when it feels okay to do so.

You may shower and take baths as usual.

Ask your doctor when it is okay for you to have sex.

Diet

You can eat your normal diet. If your stomach is upset, try bland, low-fat foods like plain rice, broiled chicken, toast, and yogurt.

If your bowel movements are not regular right after surgery, try to avoid constipation and straining. Drink plenty of water. Your doctor may suggest fibre, a stool softener, or a mild laxative.

Medicines

Your doctor will tell you if and when you can restart your medicines. You will also be given instructions about taking any new medicines.

If you take aspirin or some other blood thinner, be sure to talk to your doctor. Your doctor will tell you if and when to start taking this medicine again. Make sure that you understand exactly what your doctor wants you to do.

Be safe with medicines. Take pain medicines exactly as directed.

If the doctor gave you a prescription medicine for pain, take it as prescribed.

If you are not taking a prescription pain medicine, ask your doctor if you can take an over-the-counter medicine.

Do not take two or more pain medicines at the same time unless the doctor told you to. Many pain medicines have acetaminophen, which is Tylenol. Too much acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be harmful.

If your doctor prescribed antibiotics, take them as directed. Do not stop taking them just because you feel better. You need to take the full course of antibiotics.

Other instructions

You may have some light vaginal bleeding. Wear sanitary pads if needed. Do not use tampons until your doctor says it is okay.

You may want to use a heating pad on your belly to help with pain. Use a low heat setting.

Talk to your doctor if you want to try to get pregnant soon. They can tell you when it's safe to do so. If you don't want to get pregnant, talk with your doctor about birth control.

Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor or nurse advice line ( 811 in most provinces and territories) if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
