You get a discharge folder with a follow-up date and a “take it easy” — and then you’re home, alone with questions nobody answered. What’s actually normal at week 2? Why does lifting matter so much? What’s really going on with your hormones if your ovaries came out? Is what you’re feeling emotionally something everyone goes through, or a sign to call someone?

The Hysterectomy Reset is the evidence-based guide that answers all of it — not just what to do, but why, so you’re not just following rules, you understand your own recovery.

Inside, 8 chapters covering:

• What kind of recovery you’re actually in for (it depends more than you’d think on your specific surgery)
• The first two weeks: what’s normal, and the exact warning signs that mean call your doctor
• Weeks 3–6: activity limits explained, plus a real plan for the digestive side nobody warns you about
• Your hormones after surgery — including what the actual research says about mood and surgical menopause
• The emotional side of hysterectomy that rarely gets talked about
• Sex and intimacy after surgery: real timelines, real physical changes
• Easing back into movement beyond 6 weeks
• A compiled recovery toolkit: red-flag checklist, week-by-week timeline, and questions for your follow-up

Every chapter is backed by real sources — Cleveland Clinic, GoodRx, Hinge Health, peer-reviewed research — not generic wellness advice.
