Maintenance methods for uterine fibroid surgery

Uterine fibroids are the most common disease among women, which often brings certain psychological pressure to women. Many women always think that uterine fibroids require uterine removal. In fact, this idea is very wrong. It must be treated according to the condition. However, the operation itself is harmful to the body and will make the body very weak. Therefore, you must pay attention to the maintenance of your body after the operation in order to recover faster. Let's learn about the maintenance methods of uterine fibroid surgery.

Maintenance methods for uterine fibroid surgery

Nutritional intake after surgery is the same in principle. You should drink more water to replenish the loss of body fluids during surgery. Usually, patients can resume eating after waking up from laparoscopic surgery. At first, they can drink some warm water. If there is no discomfort, they can start eating liquid food (e.g. rice porridge). They can resume their normal diet the next day. Since protein is needed for wound healing, high-protein foods (e.g. fish, lean meat, eggs...) should be consumed to accelerate wound healing. Irritating foods should be avoided to prevent stimulating gastric acid secretion and causing gastrointestinal discomfort (e.g. chili peppers, cigarettes, oil, coffee).

Wound care For the care of these wounds, it is important to keep the wound clean and dry, and wait until the wound is completely healed (about ten days) before showering or getting it wet. The most important thing is that because laparoscopic patients have a very short hospital stay, they must pay attention to whether the wound is red, swollen, hot, or painful every day after returning home to prevent infection and inflammation. However, inflammation of the wound after laparoscopic surgery is quite rare.

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 used 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 surgery, 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.

The above is an introduction to the maintenance methods of uterine fibroids surgery. I hope that many female friends can adjust their mentality in time when they have diseases such as uterine fibroids. This will also be of great help to the treatment of the disease. In addition, female friends must observe their leucorrhea more in daily life. Once there is any abnormality, they must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, so that the disease can be discovered in time and treated earlier. In daily life, you should not have frequent artificial abortions to avoid harming your body.
