How should I care after uterine prolapse surgery?

Uterine prolapse is a very common gynecological disease, especially in postpartum women. Frequent squatting, lying on your back, or even doing heavy work when the uterus has not fully recovered can induce uterine prolapse. The most common treatment for uterine prolapse is surgery, but postoperative care is also very important. Next, let’s talk about how to care for yourself after uterine prolapse surgery?

1. Reduce caffeine and alcohol: Beverages containing caffeine and alcohol will stimulate the secretion of certain hormones and induce skin fever.

3. Drink more water: Drinking more water or juice can also effectively control body temperature.
