Uterine fibroids are a very familiar thing for middle-aged women. Many people choose to have surgery to solve uterine fibroids. Then more and more people are undergoing uterine fibroid surgery. With the increase in the number of surgeries, postoperative precautions have become more important. However, some people still don’t understand the precautions very well. Let’s take a look at the precautions after uterine fibroid surgery.

Precautions after uterine fibroid surgery:

1. If anemia exists after uterine fibroid surgery, eat more foods with high iron content, such as pork liver, black sesame, grapes, seaweed, wolfberry, mushrooms, etc. Eat more vegetables and fruits, especially tomatoes. Also take into account exercise and maintain a happy mood.

2. Daily skin care after uterine fibroid surgery is no different from general female care. A regular lifestyle, healthy eating habits, and regular skin care are all scientific ways of daily care. Eat less oily, fried, smoked, and grilled foods.

3. After uterine fibroid surgery, eat at regular times and in fixed amounts, and do not overeat. Adhere to a low-fat diet and eat more lean meat, eggs, green vegetables, fruits, etc. Eat nutritious dried fruits such as peanuts, sesame seeds, melon seeds, etc.; Generally speaking, foods that have the effect of contracting the uterus, such as coix seed and hawthorn, have little to do with the occurrence and development of uterine fibroids.

4. It is not advisable to eat too early after uterine fibroid surgery. Generally, you should start drinking a small amount of water after the anus is exhausted. If there is no discomfort, you can eat liquid food, such as rice soup, vegetable soup, etc., and then gradually transition to soft food and ordinary food.

5. After uterine fibroid surgery, if the patient is elderly and weak, he or she should eat more liquid or semi-liquid food to facilitate digestion, such as lotus root powder, orange juice, etc., or choose lean meat or fresh fish to make soup, which can not only ensure nutrition but also increase appetite, and the patient will recover quickly. If the patient's nutritional status is poor and the general diet cannot meet the nutritional needs, some high-energy comprehensive nutrient preparations can be taken orally.

The operation does not affect pregnancy, but it must be noted that the patient cannot get pregnant immediately after the operation because there are scars on the uterus from removing the fibroids; some fibroids are larger and deeper, and after removal it is like a cesarean section, and the uterus needs a certain recovery process. If the wound has not healed fully and you become pregnant right away, there is a risk of uterine rupture.

These are the things you should pay attention to after uterine fibroids surgery, but these are not the most important things. The most important thing is to go to the hospital for regular check-ups to see how your recovery is going. Because the recurrence rate of uterine fibroids is particularly high, everyone must pay attention to daily care and the necessity of going to the hospital for check-ups to keep fibroids away from your body forever.
