Answer
Your hospital stay will largely depend on the type of hysterectomy you have, as it influences how quickly you can begin recovery. For laparoscopic or vaginal hysterectomy, which are minimally invasive, most patients stay just 1 to 2 days in the hospital. In contrast, an abdominal (open) hysterectomy involves a larger incision and typically requires a longer stay about 2 to 3 days for pain management and initial recovery.
