What should I pay attention to after hysterectomy?

The female uterus is an extremely fragile organ and is more prone to certain diseases, such as uterine fibroids, endometritis, uterine cancer, cervicitis, etc. When these diseases become serious, they need to be removed surgically. Hysterectomy is an operation for these diseases. There are many precautions after this operation. The following is a detailed introduction to what to pay attention to after hysterectomy.

Note:

1. Eat more foods that supplement iron, zinc, calcium, and protein, which will help your body recover. During minimally invasive uterine surgery, more than a dozen tendons and bones are severed. On the surface, it is a minor operation, but in fact it cannot be taken lightly and should be well maintained. For example, jujube is the best blood-replenishing product; milk, beans, and eggs are high in protein.

2. Drink more hot water, eat hot meals, and eat easily digestible food; do not eat hard food or spicy food. After the operation, the body is damaged and needs comprehensive care and maintenance. If you eat cold meals or hard foods, you are likely to have stomachache or even abdominal pain. Spices such as chili peppers should be prohibited as they are not conducive to wound healing.

3. Exercise more. This exercise originally referred to walking and strolling. Only then can you jog or square dance to get all-round physical exercise. Because, after a hysterectomy, jogging can easily cause the chest cavity to drop. Moreover, insisting on taking a walk every morning helps to expel gas, makes the body comfortable, and prevents adhesion of organs in the abdominal cavity.

4. Don’t lift heavy objects. This heavy object refers to items weighing more than 5 kilograms. For example, when a tram needs to go up stairs or be pushed into the house, do not use force, otherwise it will easily cause waist pain, which may last for several days and even affect your body's recovery! Women in rural areas are not allowed to lift large bags of wheat for drying during the wheat harvest. Generally speaking, you cannot lift heavy objects within half a year. This is the doctor's post-operative instruction and must be strictly followed.

5. Lie flat and try not to lie on the bed to surf the Internet. Because you are lying prone, the injured muscles and bones are easily stretched, which affects recovery and causes lower back pain in the future.

6. A toilet is provided at home. Every urban household has a toilet, but in rural areas, there are still very few. Therefore, spending a dozen dollars to buy a temporary stool is the best option. This prevents the patient from having to exert too much force when squatting. There are two styles of toilets to choose from.

7. Every failure makes you wiser and you should keep a more relaxed attitude. Most diseases are related to bad mood, poor mental state, and the harmony between husband and wife. It is because of the heat that causes menstrual disorders. Therefore, we should no longer be obsessed with how much money we can make, but put our physical health and marital happiness first.

8. After a month or two, you can try to do some housework within your ability. For example, cleaning and cooking. Female patients who are too delicate to do anything and are just used to lying lazily to sleep and wait for meals cannot recover their health quickly.

9. No sexual intercourse within two months. Having sex too early can affect wound healing.
