How come my girlfriend is sleeping so much after a recent surgery?

She went in to Surgery the couple of days ago right away as well as she was ok for the small while, right away shes unequivocally exhausted all the time as well as dozes off as well as sleeps for prolonged amounts of time during the day. I’m disturbed though during the same time i consider the normal after the new surgery.

    It can be normal to require a lot of rest after surgery but you don’t provide enough Information your question. The body is recovering from a serious stress and, as a result, uses the energy it would usually use to cook, walk, read, etc. to help itself heal.

    If you are concerned, then talk to the surgeon.

    if she is on any kind of prescribed pain killers, then yes it is just a side effect of the meds.

    she most likely has a followup with a doctor in a few days, mention it during this appointment if you go with her, if not, make sure she mentions it.

    it’s completely normal, but it never hurts to be 100% when it comes to the safety of loved ones.

    Her body is still recovering. Depending on the surgery, this could go on for a few day or a few weeks. The much more invasive surgeries might even take months.

    Depending on what kind of surgery she had, her body is probably trying to heal itself after being cut open. It’s a major trauma for the body and it needs a lot of rest to repair the cells that were damaged. Anesthesia can also make people feel sleepy for several days after surgery, depending on how long she was out.

    its ok dont worry, thats normal. people are almost always exhausted after hospital visits no matter how much they slept. it could be caused by whatever work was done, the medication, stress, or nerves . hope i helped
