Hope and Healing After a Hysterectomy

Описание: Hysterectomy is more common than most people realize. By midlife, 1 in 5 women will face it. But what happens afterward is rarely talked about.

Recovery often feels longer and harder than women are led to believe. Fatigue lingers. Confidence takes a hit. And if the ovaries are removed, surgical menopause can arrive overnight. And that brings a whole new layer of confusion.

Too many women are left to figure it out on their own.

That’s why Holly sat down with ‪@dr.jocelynwallace‬ , a pelvic floor physical therapist who not only helps women heal after a hysterectomy, but is also living this journey herself. Together, they talk honestly about what recovery really looks like, how identity and emotions get wrapped up in healing, and what can help women move from fear to confidence.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

o Why hysterectomy recovery rarely ends in six weeks;
o How surgical menopause and oophorectomy complicate healing;
o The emotional weight of recovery and identity shifts;
o Practical ways women can rebuild strength and confidence.

This conversation is for every woman who has faced a hysterectomy, or knows someone who has. Because no woman should go through this alone.
