Tvh - Vs - Tah?
Hi Strawberry,
I was scheduled for a TVH but ended up having a TAH. My doctor told me that the recovery time is the same because there is still a lot of internal trauma - they don't just slide things out, there is still cutting and stitching done. And the last thing you want to do is pull those internal stitches out by lifting.
He also told me that because patients might feel pretty good and have no external sign of the surgery, they tend to be more confident about breaking the rules and reinjuring themselves, so be careful during your recovery.
Good luck,
MMM
