Frequently Asked Questions:
You may feel well recovered after a laparoscopy (without hysterectomy) in 1 to 2 days, but you may need more time before resuming your normal activities. Meanwhile, recovery from a vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy can take 3 to 4 weeks.
Most incisions seem red at first but fade with time, leaving a hardly visible scar. However, sometimes people develop a thicker type of scar that has extra fibrous tissue, called a "keloid scar."
But experts now say that the surgery may not be as effective as previously thought in relieving symptoms and could actually make things worse for some patients, including those who have developed separate pain conditions as a result of their endometriosis.
Having surgery to remove the endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus can help with pain and reduce swelling. This, in turn, can help a person lose weight or look slimmer.
