How Long Does It Take to Recover After a Hysteroscopy, D and C, and NovaSure Procedure?

According to the Johns Hopkins Medicine, recovery time for a hysteroscopy D and C, and NovaSure procedure varies based on the patient and the type of anesthesia administered. If the operation is performed on an outpatient basis, the patient may leave the hospital after two hours. Recovery takes several days.
