Especially when the uterine disease develops to a serious condition, the uterus needs to be removed, which is equivalent to blocking the right to be a mother. Here I will introduce to you what you should pay attention to after a total hysterectomy.

If it is abdominal surgery 1. Body position: Those with epidural anesthesia lie flat for 6-8 hours; those with general anesthesia lie flat on their side. 2. Observe vital signs: blood pressure, pulse speed and strength, breathing stability, and body temperature. It should generally not exceed 38 degrees Celsius within 48 hours after surgery. 3. Urination: Keep the indwelling urinary catheter unobstructed, pay attention to urine color and volume, and abdominal surgery usually removes it after 24 hours. 4. Abdominal distension: Intestinal distension can be treated by intramuscular injection of neostigmine 0.5-1.0 mg or rectal tube venting 1-2 days after surgery. For patients with vaginal hysterectomy and perineum sutures, local cleaning should be done twice a day, and once after defecation. Postoperative complications: mainly bleeding, infection, and intestinal obstruction. It is also necessary to prevent the incision from splitting, which often occurs 1-2 days after the stitches are removed and is seen in people with anemia, low protein, cough, nausea and vomiting.

How to take care of your health after total hysterectomy Total hysterectomy is a relatively traumatic surgery and the wound recovery time takes about 7-10 days. In addition to a wound in the lower abdomen, there is also a wound at the stump of the vagina. The vaginal wound takes longer to heal than the abdominal wound, about 10 days, so this feature must be paid attention to during postoperative health care and recovery. Generally speaking, within one month after the operation, you should try to avoid going out for a walk, shopping in the mall, skipping rope, sitting for a long time playing cards, etc., and rest in bed more to reduce the gravity pressure on the vaginal wound and allow the wound to heal completely. After one month, do some appropriate sobering outdoor activities, but the time should not be too long. After total hysterectomy, the ligament tissue in the pelvis is traumatized and recovers slowly, so the rest time after surgery is 3 months. Sexual intercourse and bathing must be prohibited within 3 months.

No matter what happens, we must try our best to make things develop in the best possible way. As long as we try our best, stay calm and accept the coming of things calmly.
