How to maintain after hysterectomy?

In recent years, there have been more and more diseases related to the uterus and ovaries in women. Some of these diseases, such as uterine fibroids and ovarian tumors, come on aggressively without any warning signs, and their causes are not clear. Currently, the best treatment is to remove the lesions, which leads to the complete removal of the uterus and ovaries in some women. Today we will focus on what these women should pay attention to in their lives.

1. People who have had a hysterectomy will no longer have menstruation.

2. 6-8 weeks after the operation, when the deep tissues in the pelvic cavity have recovered, you can have a normal sexual life.

3. Avoid lifting objects heavier than 3 kg, bending over to pick up objects, and climbing stairs within 6-8 weeks after surgery. You can use an abdominal belt appropriately.

4. Do not sit for long periods of time or travel long distances within 3 months, and avoid yoga, rhythmic dance and other exercises that can easily increase abdominal pressure to avoid pelvic bleeding.

5. After going to the toilet, wipe from front to back to avoid infection.

6. Postoperative care for hysterectomy and oophorectomy should include observing the wound for redness, swelling, heat, pain or abnormal discharge. If any of the above symptoms occur, return to the doctor as soon as possible.

7. Eat more fruits and vegetables and high-fiber foods, and drink 2000-3000cc of water every day to prevent constipation.

8. If you have bilateral ovarian removal, you are prone to osteoporosis. You should increase your calcium and hormone intake, such as animal bones, dried fish, soy foods, and exercise appropriately to avoid falls and fractures.

9. Do not use vaginal douching or tub bathing within 6 weeks.

10. Eat more foods containing protein, vitamins and iron, such as fish soup, grapes, cherries, vegetables, etc.

11. Try to eat less irritating and gas-producing foods. The above is about the maintenance after hysterectomy and oophorectomy. After passing gas and defecation, you can eat normally and eat anything without restrictions. You can move around in bed 2 days after the operation, get out of bed 3 days later, do some activities in about 1 week, and move freely in about 2 weeks. Normal activities can be resumed after 6 weeks. After surgery, chicken soup, fish soup, and pig's trotter soup are usually consumed.

The above eleven points are some things that women who have had their uterus and ovaries completely removed should pay attention to in their lives. In addition to some things that need to be paid attention to in diet and life, usually after the operation, the patient's mood will be very low and they will not want to eat. The patient's family members need to take good care of them and accompany them patiently, and try to let them recover a good mentality as soon as possible, which will also help their physical recovery.
