Maintenance methods after subtotal hysterectomy

Patients who have undergone total hysterectomy generally rest in bed within one week after surgery, but they should avoid lying in bed for long periods of time. Patients can get out of bed and move around as appropriate based on their own recovery, because early postoperative activity can promote early recovery of gastrointestinal function and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications such as intestinal adhesions. Patients can engage in appropriate outdoor activities one week after surgery, paying attention to the combination of work and rest. In addition to the need to recover from the abdominal incision, patients who have undergone total hysterectomy should also prevent the sutures at the top of the vaginal incision from falling off and causing vaginal bleeding. They should avoid carrying weight, squatting, and physical labor too early within one month after the operation.

Pay attention to psychological adjustments, and maintain a happy, cheerful and optimistic mood. After total hysterectomy, some women will worry about whether they will age after the hysterectomy. In fact, female characteristics are maintained by the secretion of estrogen by the ovaries. The uterus is only one of the important organs for nurturing the fetus. When the patient has no fertility requirements, only the uterus is removed and the ovaries are retained due to the lesions. The normal physiological function of women can still be maintained and will not accelerate aging.

After the operation, you should strengthen your nutrition and consume more foods containing protein, vitamins and iron to promote the healing of the incision. Pay attention to drinking enough water every day, eat more vegetables, fruits and high-fiber foods, keep your bowels open, and prevent vaginal stump bleeding caused by excessive abdominal pressure due to constipation.
