How Do I Prepare Myself For The Operation?

1. Find out more about the procedure (e.g. by reading this pamphlet, you could be mentally and emotionally prepared for this operation).
2. Blood tests, an electrocardiography (ECG) and a chest X-ray may be done to ensure that you are in optimal health for the surgery.
3. A hormonal preparation containing estrogen (i.e. cream or pessaries) may be given to you before the operation if you are already menopausal. It is important to comply with this medication as it ensures that your vaginal tissues are optimal for healing after surgery.
4. You will generally be admitted one day before your surgery.
5. You will generally be given medical leave of 4 weeks to rest after operation.
