What to eat after hysterectomy

Uterine fibroids are a common disease among women, and I believe everyone has a certain understanding of them. In life, many patients do not pay much attention to care after hysterectomy, which is likely to cause some complications. Therefore, nursing is very important for patients, especially dietary conditioning. How should patients eat to help them recover their health as soon as possible? Let’s learn about it today.

After hysterectomy, patients should eat more fruits and vegetables and high-fiber foods, and consume 2000-3000cc of water every day to prevent constipation. If bilateral oophorectomy is performed, osteoporosis may occur easily and calcium and hormone intake should be increased.

Generally speaking, the following dietary considerations should be taken after hysterectomy:

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. Eat at regular times and in regular amounts, and do not overeat.

7. Adhere to a low-fat diet and eat more lean meat, eggs, green vegetables, fruits, etc.

8. Eat more whole grains such as corn, beans, etc.

9. Eat nutritious dried fruits regularly, such as peanuts, sesame seeds, melon seeds, etc.

10. The most important thing about diet after hysterectomy is to avoid spicy food, alcohol, frozen food, etc.

We know that hysterectomy is generally used to treat uterine tumors or some lesions of the adnex. After the patient has undergone a hysterectomy, nursing is a very important link. Hysterectomy is not a minor operation. It will more or less cause a certain degree of damage to the patient's body, so we must strictly follow the requirements for care after the operation.
