Bowel Prep Before Hysterectomy?

My surgery is scheduled but I wasn’t told anything about doing a colon cleanse (bowel preparation). What should I do?

Not all doctors require a bowel prep for their hysterectomy patients. This is entirely up to your own physician. Every patient is different and although a bowel prep is ordered for many hysterectomy patients, it is not an across-the-board pre-operative order for everyone.

Do not under any circumstances take a laxative or give yourself an enema unless your physician tells you to do so. And if your doctor tells you to conduct a colon cleansing (via laxative or enema), it is imperative to your health that you follow his or her directions precisely. If you encounter problems with this or have questions, phone your medical provider for instructions on how to proceed.

These activities are not pleasant, but there’s a reason for them. Start your journey to good health on the right foot and follow your doctor’s orders to the letter in this regard.
