Weâre going to be the ones taking care of you. So, I still do Pap smears after hysterectomy. ACOGâs recommendation is that if youâve had an abnormal Pap smear, you should have a Pap smear at least every other year for 20 years, following an abnormal Pap smear or after your hysterectomy.
Begin with 10 to 20 pound dumbbells and work your way up to the heavier weights to avoid injury to your wrists, arms and shoulders. Do three to six sets of about three to six repetitions. Due to the high intensity of these exercises, give yourself two to three minutes of rest between each set.
For the strength training, you donât need a gym, as youâll be using your own weight and resources at home for each exercise. Iâd suggest you purchase a set of single-arm dumbbells starting with a 3-pound weight up to 15 pounds. It also helps to work out in front of a mirror so that you can monitor your form.
