How to take care of your uterus after it is removed?

Uterine fibroids are a common disease of the female uterus, which is more common in middle-aged women. For patients with uterine fibroids, the best treatment is to completely remove the lesions, so as to prevent the disease from spreading further. Therefore, some patients with uterine fibroids have their uterus removed. Today we will mainly talk about this type of patients and how to care for and maintain them after their 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 undergone total hysterectomy will no longer have menstruation. 7. After 6-8 weeks of surgery, when the deep tissues in the pelvic cavity have recovered, normal sexual life can be resumed. If it is a total hysterectomy, sexual life should be abstained for 3 months and heavy physical labor should be avoided. Normal work and life can be resumed after 3 months. 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 may increase abdominal pressure within 3 months to avoid pelvic bleeding.

How to adjust after hysterectomy:

Patients who have undergone total hysterectomy generally rest in bed within one week after surgery, but they should avoid lying in bed for long periods of time. Patients can get out of bed and move around as appropriate based on their own recovery, because early postoperative activity can promote early recovery of gastrointestinal function and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications such as intestinal adhesions. Patients can engage in appropriate outdoor activities one week after surgery, paying attention to the combination of work and rest. In addition to the need to recover from the abdominal incision, patients who have undergone total hysterectomy should also prevent the sutures at the top of the vaginal incision from falling off and causing vaginal bleeding. They should avoid carrying weight, squatting, and physical labor too early within one month after the operation.

In life, many patients with uterine fibroids have their uterus removed during the treatment process, which is a very painful thing for female friends. Not only does it cause great physical pain, the patient's mental health is also very important. Therefore, I hope that the patient's family and friends can show more patience and love so that the patient can get out of the psychological shadow as soon as possible.
