Beadboard is a row of narrow wood planks lined up vertically. In between each wood plank is a little indentation or ridge--also known as a bead. These days most 'beadboard' comes in long, monolithic sheets that are easy to install and imitate the look of narrow vertical planks.
Vaginal discharge. After a hysterectomy, you'll experience some vaginal bleeding and discharge. This will be less discharge than during a period, but it may last up to six weeks. Visit your GP if you experience heavy vaginal bleeding, start passing blood clots, or have a strong-smelling discharge.
The recovery time from a hysterectomy depends on how the hysterectomy was performed as well as how well a patient deals with postoperative pain. I tell my patients that if they are having a total abdominal hysterectomy that this could be a good 5-6 week recovery. If they are having a laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy, 3-4 week recovery. If they are having a vaginal hysterectomy, 3 week recovery. If they are having a laparoscopic or single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomy, probably a 1-2 week recovery.
