How long should recovery take after sterilisation?
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi all,
I was sterilised via key hole surgery a week tomorrow. I'm a bit confused about how long recovery should take. I was kept in overnight at the Hospital due to pain & had to be given Morphine. I was discharged the following morning with no issue, other than being in pain from the wound sites. I have got better each day but am still having to take Codine & Naproxen to control the pain (but it is improving)..I'm still moving quite slowly and have very purple bruises around both wounds. I have been signed off work for a minimum of two weeks and they have said no bathes or sex for a month!!! After looking on here and other places, it all says recovery in 2-5 days..am I a wimp..I feel like I'm taking too long with the recovery, but I'm genuinely still very sore? :-(

Hiya, recovery should be about a week. But I suffered in pain for months. It's now been 18 months since I was sterilised and I'm still in agony. I've lost 2 jobs because of it, and I cannot do normal daily activities. I've been back to the consultant who did myou sterilistation numerous times and I've just asked my Dr to refer me to another consultant as I'm not happy with the treatment fromantic my initial one. They now think I've got endometriosis and I've been on different treatments one worked the others didn't. But it's taken 18 months and a self referral to the endometriosis pain clinic to be finally put forward for a laparoscopy, unfortunately I can be waiting upto 4 months for this.
I hope you find some explanation, but don't give up keep methinks your Dr's and consultant.

Hi, I had sterilisation with clips in April and went back to work after 2 weeks but didn't feel fully recovered until around 4. I have extra clips as I have fibroids which I a, being treated for now. My periods are heavier but I was on the pill before so expected this. I hope you feel better soon.
