Are you preparing for a hysterectomy?
Or searching for a thoughtful gift for someone you care about who is facing one?
You want to understand what to expect, what to bring, and how to prepare your home, yourself, and your family.
You’re curious about how sex might change afterward—and whether you can still enjoy a fulfilling sex life (spoiler alert: typically yes!).
You have worries about risks and side effects.
You’re unsure which questions to ask your doctor—or worried about asking too many.
You may carry past experiences of abuse or unwanted sexual trauma that impact how you feel about surgery.
You want to know how you can best support your body to heal, and how you can feel less worry and more confident going into surgery.
You want a clear list of essentials to have on hand for the first few weeks after surgery.
You wonder how long recovery will really take (and anyone who claims to have a definitive answer is probably oversimplifying—but there’s definitely better guidance than “back to work in 2 weeks”!).
You’d like some helpful information for your partner or close friends so they can support you better.
You want all this information gathered in one convenient, well-researched, and referenced package. Consider it done. :-)
Plus, if you’re interested, there are optional reflective journal prompts to accompany you through the process. Don’t want them? No problem—they’re easy to skip. Want a separate journal with just the prompts? You can find that here (COMING SOON!).
Guide yourself through surgery and recovery — know what’s ahead and how to navigate it with confidence.
