What Is a Hysterectomy and How Can Ayurveda Help with Recovery and Hormonal Balance After Surgery - #15994
My doctor recently told me that I might need a hysterectomy, and I am feeling overwhelmed by this news. I have been struggling with fibroids and heavy periods for years, and my symptoms have gotten worse. The doctor said that removing the uterus might be the best option, but I am scared about the long-term effects. I want to understand what exactly happens during a hysterectomy and how it will impact my body. Will it cause menopause immediately, or does that depend on whether the ovaries are removed? I have heard that a hysterectomy can cause hormonal imbalances—how severe are they, and what are the possible side effects? I am also looking for ways to prepare my body before surgery and recover naturally afterward. Does Ayurveda offer treatments to help with healing and hormone balance after a hysterectomy? Are there specific herbs or foods that can support the body through this transition? I want to avoid severe mood swings, fatigue, and bone loss if possible. If anyone has gone through a hysterectomy and used Ayurveda for post-surgery recovery, I would love to hear what helped you feel better. I want to make sure I am doing everything I can to heal properly and maintain my overall well-being.
