How to maintain a hysterectomy?

We know that for uterine fibroids, the most effective treatment method at present is surgical resection. The specific resection technique is related to the individual differences of the patient. Generally, for some older patients who have no fertility needs, hysterectomy is a common treatment method. So how do we take care of our bodies after the uterus is removed?

Following hysterectomy, you should pay attention to the following dietary considerations:

1. Avoid greasy food: because fat will accumulate, making wounds difficult to heal and weakening resistance to bacteria.

2. Increase protein intake: Protein-rich foods, including fish, meat, beans, eggs, and milk, can help wound healing and increase physical strength. You can choose more fish because fish is easier to digest and absorb. Remember to eat the meat and not just drink the soup.

3. Eat an appropriate amount of fruits and vegetables: Because fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, they can help the patient's wounds heal and increase the body's resistance.

4. Drink more water.

5. Do not eat foods that easily cause bloating: such as onions, cabbage, olives, soy products, etc.

6. Those who have had a hysterectomy will no longer have menstruation.

7. 6-8 weeks after the operation, when the deep tissues in the pelvic cavity have recovered, you can have a normal sexual life. If you have undergone a total hysterectomy, you should abstain from sexual life for 3 months and avoid heavy physical labor. After 3 months, I returned to normal work and life.

8. Avoid lifting objects heavier than 3 kg, bending over to pick up objects, and climbing stairs within 6-8 weeks after the operation. You can use a belly band appropriately.

9. Avoid sitting for long periods of time, long-distance travel, yoga, rhythmic dance and other exercises that increase abdominal pressure within 3 months to avoid pelvic bleeding.

Women who have had a hysterectomy should pay attention to:

First, we should strengthen nutrition, and choose foods with small amount and high quality of protein, fat and B vitamins, such as milk, beef, pork, fish, beans, etc. We can also eat some dried fruits such as walnuts, jujubes, longans, peanuts, etc., which can play an anti-fatigue role.

The second is to strengthen physical exercise. You can exercise according to your age and interests to improve your physical fitness. If you feel lack of energy or sleepy after staying up late, you should do some gymnastics, Tai Chi or go outdoors for a while.

For patients who have undergone hysterectomy, regular living habits are very important, and patients are advised to correct their unhealthy life rhythm. Adjust your diet, eliminate the psychological burden of the disease, and don't worry or panic excessively. In addition, the patient's family should also give the patient more patience and care, not only taking care of the patient's life but also taking care of the patient's mental health.
