How should I prepare to recover from LAVH surgery at home?

You should be able to return to fairly normal activity, including going up and down stairs, after your LAVH surgery. Follow all postoperative instructions provided by your surgeon. You should expect some minor vaginal bleeding or discharge, and you should refrain from sex for a few weeks after surgery. You should not use a tampon, or put anything into your vagina, until you are fully healed.
