How many days of rest is required after family planning surgery and what precautions I should take after surgery.

Question

It's important not to lift anything heavy for 1 week. How long it takes you to fully recover depends on the kind of surgery you had. After a laparoscopy, it usually takes about 1 week. After a mini-laparotomy, it usually takes 1 to 3 weeks. If you had a mini-laparotomy after having a baby, your recovery may take longer. Activity Rest when you feel tired. Be active. Walking is a good choice. Allow your body to heal. Don't move quickly or lift anything heavy until you are feeling better. You may shower. Pat the incision dry. Don't swim or take a bath for the first 2 weeks, or until your doctor tells you it is okay. For laparoscopic surgery, you will probably need to take 2 to 7 days off work. For mini-laparotomy, you will probably need to take 1 to 2 weeks off work. It depends on the type of work you do and how you feel. Ask your doctor when it is okay for you to have sex. Diet You can eat your normal diet. If your stomach is upset, try bland, low-fat foods like plain rice, broiled chicken, toast, and yogurt. Drink plenty of fluids (unless your doctor tells you not to). If your bowel movements are not regular right after surgery, try to avoid constipation and straining. Drink plenty of water. Your doctor may suggest fibre, a stool softener, or a mild laxative.
