Yellow vaginal discharge after laparoscopic surgery

The yellowing of leucorrhea after laparoscopic surgery is caused by vaginal inflammation or gynecological diseases after the surgery. Female friends need to pay attention to the care when going upstairs after the surgery to avoid infection of the wound. Also, they should not have sexual intercourse too early after the surgery, as it can easily cause gynecological diseases. Regarding the precautions after abdominal surgery, you can read the content introduced below and then follow the steps in the article to take good care of yourself.

Now after the hysteroscopy, my leucorrhea has turned yellow for ten days. It should be considered that there is varying degrees of vaginitis. So in your case, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and have your secretions tested, and then use vaginal medication to treat it according to the nature of the secretions. During these days, pay attention to keeping the vulva dry and clean, keep warm, avoid catching cold, avoid spicy food, and refrain from sexual intercourse.

Precautions after laparoscopic surgery

Wound care

The number of days that patients who undergo laparoscopic surgery need to stay in the hospital is very short. Therefore, after returning home, you should pay attention to observe the wound to see if there is redness or swelling to prevent infection. This type of surgery leaves a small wound and inflammation is rare.

Daily life

Maintaining a comfortable life and doing a little exercise can help the body recover. Patients who undergo laparoscopic fallopian tube surgery and laparoscopic ovarian surgery should also pay attention to moderate activity within one week of the surgery, which will help the body recover as soon as possible.

One week after surgery, you can remove the abdominal dressing, take a shower, and gradually resume normal activities. You should be able to resume your normal daily routine two weeks after surgery.

Nutritional intake

Generally, you can resume eating after you regain consciousness after surgery. You can drink some warm water at the beginning. If you don’t feel any discomfort, you can eat some liquid food. You can eat normally the next day. Wound healing requires protein, so pay attention to the intake of high-protein foods.

Observation of the condition

After the patient returns to the ward, vital signs are monitored once an hour. After 4 to 6 measurements stabilize, the monitor is changed to once a day. Within 24 hours after surgery, the patient's condition should be closely monitored, such as the patient's chief complaint, complexion, abdominal wounds, abdominal signs, etc., so as to promptly detect and deal with possible complications after surgery.

Drainage tube care

If a drainage tube is placed, follow routine drainage care and keep the patient in a semi-recumbent position for 6 hours after surgery to facilitate the outflow of drainage fluid. Observe the quality of the drainage every 1 to 2 hours after surgery, change the dressing and drainage bag in time, keep the drainage port clean, and prevent infection. The drainage tube can be removed after 24 to 48 hours of placement, or once the drainage volume has been significantly reduced 1 day after surgery.

Vaginal bleeding

During surgery, in order to allow for a clear examination of the ovaries, fallopian tubes and dorsal side of the uterus or to provide sufficient space for surgery, a uterine support device (not required for unmarried women) is usually placed in the vagina to adjust the position of the uterus. Therefore, there will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding after the operation, which is normal. However, if vaginal bleeding lasts for more than two weeks, you should consult a doctor to see if there is any abnormality.

As for patients who undergo laparoscopic hysterectomy, since the top of the vagina will be sutured after the hysterectomy, brown bleeding within two weeks is still normal. It should be noted that having sex or lifting heavy objects within eight weeks may cause poor wound healing and cause bleeding at the stump, so it should be avoided.
