ABSTRACT:

Menorrhagia is a prolonged and excessively serious menstrual bleeding (Walker et al., 2015). It is not due to any underlying disease, the likely reasons include hormone imbalance, ovary impairments, uterine fibroids, intra uterine devices, medications etc. Vaginal hysterectomy is a procedure in which the uterus is surgically removed via the vagina.Non descent vaginal hysterectomy (NVDH) is preferred for uterine removal as it is easy and time efficient.Immediate care with physiotherapy is recommended in post-operative patients for early recovery. This42-year-old woman was mainly concerned with per vaginal bleedingfor 2 months. Also complaints includedpain in lower abdomen and lower limb tingling and numbness.She was unable to perform her daily activities. Menorrhagia was confirmed with investigations like sonography and haematological investigations. Patient was treated withnon-descent vaginal hysterectomy and post-surgical physical therapy. Timely physiotherapy rehabilitation plan in post-surgical phase helps in early functional restoration.
