Prehab & Rehab for Hysterectomy: Episode 35 with Dr Lori Mize

Continuing the Hysterectomy conversation with the excellent Dr Lori Mize! I've been deep in the research around hysterectomy as I've been creating my latest online course, 'Hysterectomy: Prehab to Rehab' (available now!) Part of that research has been reaching out to friends & colleagues for their perspectives (have you listened to my interview with Lola Turvey about her personal & professional experience with hysterectomy yet? Episode 33 - so good!) Full Disclosure: this is a serious topic but we had FUN with this conversation! Dr Lori Mize is a force of nature and has been making huge contributions to the field of pelvic health for more than 20 years. We are both super passionate about women’s health, but today we decided to focus our attention on what we can do to help women live well after hysterectomy Some of the things we discussed include: 👉 are women being served well, in terms of prehab and rehab, when it comes to hysterectomy (spoiler: no) 👉 the importance of ERAS approaches (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) to mental & physical health after hysterectomy 👉 the role of education about what to expect - how knowledge can help decrease anxiety and improve wellbeing 👉 why we have to understand how anxiety, depression & grieving are both common and normal after hysterectomy & how we can support people 👉 the essential role we can have in supporting return to a high quality of life, whether we’re talking about pelvic health, the importance of scar mobility, returning to exercise and education about sexual health Want to learn more?
