As the hysterectomy is one of the most common surgeries, a study was conducted to answer the question for the optimal surgical recovery. This study aims to describe the relationships between recovery time and the components of quality of life after hysterectomy. Aims and Objectives: To study the physical, social, and emotional well being of post hysterectomised patient. Methodology: Study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Bharati hospital, Pune. It was a prospective observational study of patient related outcomes to study the physical, social, and emotional well being of post hysterectomised patient. Post hysterectomized women above 40 years were included in this study. 196 post hysterectomised women were included. Study was conducted from October 2021 to January 2024. Results: From third month onwards, degree of difficulty of majority of patients was reduced in all mentioned activities. Majority of cases there was gradual health improvement noted. The pain score was reduced over 3 months in 92% cases and in almost all patients over 6 months.
