Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
How do I prepare for my gynecology surgery?
It will depend on the type of surgery you’ve had, but your gynecologist in Dubai or Abu Dhabi may recommend you to use a laxative and eat lightly. Avoid drinking alcohol a day before the surgery.
What medications should I take before my surgery?
Our gynecology clinic in Dubai or Abu Dhabi will review your medical history and advise which medication can be taken before your surgery.
When can I return to work after surgery?
It also depends on the type of surgery, as they all have different recovery time. In most cases, patients can return to work 1 week after getting a diagnostic laparoscopy/hysteroscopy, 1 -2 weeks after surgical laparoscopy/hysteroscopy, and between 2 – 4 weeks after undergoing a laparoscopic hysterectomy/myomectomy and 6 – 8 weeks if you’ve had a traditional abdominal surgery.
When can I exercise after surgery?
Each surgery and patient vary from one another; however, generally, it takes within 2 weeks for minor surgery and 4 – 6 weeks if you underwent a major surgery. It’s best to consult with your physician first before performing strenuous activities.
When can I resume sexual activity?
It may still depend on the procedure you’ve had, but typically for minor surgical procedures, it takes 1 – 2 weeks while for major surgeries between 4 – 6 weeks. Consult your gynecology surgeon in Dubai for recommendations.
