1. Take good care of the surgical wound: After uterine fibroid surgery, the patient's surgical wound is usually located at the navel, about one centimeter long. Keep the wound clean and dry after the operation, and do not scratch the wound at will. The wound will generally heal ten days after surgery. During this period, avoid getting the wound wet by showering.

2. Develop regular living habits: After uterine fibroid surgery, patients need adequate rest and a light diet to help with postoperative recovery. If the recovery is good, the patient can resume normal daily routine 7 days after the operation. Patients who previously liked to stay up late and had irregular work and rest schedules must exercise strict self-discipline after surgery and set up a healthy and reasonable schedule for themselves.

3. Moderate exercise: Usually 50 days after uterine fibroid surgery, if the patient has recovered well, they can choose suitable exercise according to their physical condition and stick to it to help strengthen their physical fitness.

Attention should also be paid to dietary care after minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids. For example, patients with uterine fibroids should have light meals and it is best not to eat mutton, dog meat, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, black fish and other irritating foods. Patients with uterine fibroids can eat more seaweed foods, such as nori, kelp, sea cabbage, wakame, etc. Seaweed contains the most minerals, such as calcium, iron, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, iodine, etc.

Maintain a low-fat diet, eat more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, kelp, seaweed, fruits and other cool vegetables and fruits.
