How soon will I recover after a hysteroscopy?

Recovery is usually fairly quick because hysteroscopy is minimally invasive and doesn’t involve any abdominal cuts. Most women return to light activities within 1 to 3 days. It’s normal to have mild cramping or light spotting for a few days afterwards. Your consultant will advise when you can safely resume exercise, sexual activity, or heavy lifting. Typically, this takes about 2 weeks.
