Abstract

The physical and psychological needs of women who have undergone hysterectomy, both immediately post-surgery and long-term are of interest. These include managing pain, addressing hormonal changes, emotional distress, and adjusting to a new body image. The importance of comprehensive care that combines physical recovery with psychological support is shown. Thus, the need for tailored healthcare strategies to enhance the overall well-being of women after hysterectomy is shown.

Keywords: Emotional support; hormone replacement therapy; pain management; psychological well-being; recovery.
