8-Week Post-Op Reflections
At just 8–9 weeks post-op, this patient sits down with Dr. Karli Provost Goldstein to reflect on her recovery following a minimally invasive hysterectomy for adenomyosis. After years of chronic bleeding, debilitating pain, and exhaustion, she shares how surgery has given her a renewed sense of health and freedom.
Now pain-free, with energy restored and cycles no longer controlling her life, she describes feeling like herself again—clear, strong, and finally able to plan her life without interruption.
Key Insights:
