Can I walk after hysteroscopy examination

After hysteroscopy examination, it is usually possible to walk, but it is recommended to rest appropriately and avoid vigorous exercise and prolonged standing. Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves entering the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervix. After examination, most patients do not experience significant discomfort and can walk slowly and normally. After the SEP examination, the ability to walk normally is due to the minimal trauma caused by hysteroscopy operation on the body, which usually does not require anesthesia or only requires local anesthesia or intravenous anesthesia. After the anesthesia effect subsides, the lower limb mobility will quickly recover. During the examination, the doctor will use a dilation medium to dilate the uterine cavity for clear observation. This may cause mild abdominal bloating or a small amount of vaginal bleeding, but these reactions are generally mild and do not affect walking. To promote physical recovery, it is recommended to rest for about half an hour after the examination to confirm that there are no discomforts such as dizziness, nausea, or worsening abdominal pain before starting to walk. When walking, the speed should be slow, the stride should be small, and avoid going up and down stairs, jumping, running, and other movements. If endometrial biopsy, polypectomy, or adhesion separation is performed during the examination process, the cervix may be slightly open and there may be wounds on the endometrium. Although walking is allowed, it is important to rest and reduce physical activity to lower the risk of bleeding and infection. In rare cases, patients may experience dizziness and fatigue due to anesthesia reactions or mental stress, requiring assistance or the use of a wheelchair, and should not walk independently for the time being. On the day after the examination, one should avoid cycling, driving, or engaging in any activities that require concentration, as anesthesia drugs may still have residual effects. If there are abnormal conditions such as severe abdominal pain, bleeding exceeding menstrual flow, or fever, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner and should not continue with physical activity. After the SEP examination, it is recommended to keep the external genitalia clean and avoid sexual activity, baths, and swimming for two weeks to prevent infection. Eating foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, and fresh vegetables and fruits, can help the body recover. Pay attention to the condition of vaginal bleeding. Generally, a small amount of bloody discharge will last for three to seven days. If the bleeding time is prolonged or the amount increases, timely follow-up is necessary. Ensuring adequate sleep, avoiding fatigue and exposure to cold, can help with uterine recovery.
