How to maintain after hysterectomy?

Hysterectomy and ovary removal are relatively common gynecological surgeries. As long as they are benign, there is no need to worry and normal maintenance can be performed.

Pay attention to adjusting your mood, keeping a happy mood, and don't have any mental burden. Maintain a regular daily routine, pay attention to rest, and go to bed early and get up early. The diet should be light and easy to digest, while ensuring the intake of various nutrients and a combination of meat and vegetables.

Do not lift heavy objects, bend over to pick up objects, or climb stairs within six months. You can use a belly belt appropriately. Do not sit for long periods of time, travel long distances, and avoid exercises that increase abdominal pressure, such as yoga and rhythmic dance, to avoid pelvic bleeding. Exercise more when you have time and relax. You can supplement with multivitamins and collagen foods or skin care products in appropriate amounts to prevent excessive dryness of the skin. If you are not unsuitable for taking hormones, you can also consider taking estrogen alone to reduce symptoms. After 6-8 weeks, when the deep tissues in the pelvic cavity have recovered, you can have a normal sexual life.

3 to 5 years after hysterectomy, ovarian function will be affected to a certain extent, and patients will experience some menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, sweating, irritability, and vaginal dryness, which will affect sexual life. At this time, you should go to the hospital for examination. If necessary, use hormone replacement or apply medications such as cod liver oil ointment to promote a harmonious sexual life.

Six weeks after total hysterectomy, the patient should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to understand the wound healing situation. Sexual intercourse is generally prohibited for 3 months after surgery to facilitate wound recovery.

The above is an introduction to how to maintain after hysterectomy. After understanding it, you must make timely adjustments when you encounter such problems in the future. First of all, you must maintain a good mentality, and your diet must be based on light and low-fat foods. You must also pay attention to good personal hygiene and do more outdoor exercise.
