How long is recovery after endometriosis excision surgery?

Most patients are able to do light, gentle activities within a few days after endometriosis excision surgery, but recovery is a gradual process. It’s common for energy, swelling, and abdominal or pelvic soreness to improve in stages rather than all at once.

Many people can return to more typical day-to-day routines over the next several weeks, depending on the extent and locations of disease treated and the type of work they do. Our team will outline what to expect based on your surgical plan and help you time key milestones like driving, returning to work, and resuming exercise—if you’d like, you can reach out to schedule a consultation to discuss recovery in your specific situation.
