Recovery after pelvic floor surgery: practical tips
Small daily steps and clear follow-up instructions help recovery and reduce complications.
Recovery plans vary by procedure, but these general tips often help:
1) Walk gently every day as advised to support circulation.
2) Avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise during the early recovery phase.
3) Follow wound-care and medication instructions exactly.
4) Manage constipation (diet, hydration, and safe stool softeners if prescribed).
5) Attend follow-up appointments and report warning signs early (fever, severe pain, heavy bleeding, inability to pass urine).
Always follow your surgeon’s specific instructions because they are tailored to your procedure and condition.
