 Introduction

Whether you're preparing for a hysterectomy or navigating life after surgery, one thing becomes clear very quickly: the information is scattered. You get bits from doctors, blogs, forums, and friends, but there’s no central place to organize what really matters for your recovery.

That's why this guide exists.

  • Share it with your caregiver, family member, or doctor

  • Customize each section to reflect your surgery type

  • Upload voice notes or scan prescriptions

 Final Thoughts

A hysterectomy may mark the end of certain symptoms, but it’s also the beginning of a new chapter. And like any journey, it deserves preparation, navigation tools, and consistent self-care.

The Hysterectomy Resource Vault isn’t just a dashboard; it’s a support system. It empowers you to be informed, organized, and proactive in your healing.

Because healing isn’t just about what happens inside your body, it’s also about how you support yourself outside of it.
