Maintenance methods for hysterectomy

Everyone hopes to have a healthy body. However, due to the complex structure of the female body, some gynecological diseases are particularly prone to occur. Among them, uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease today. Once the situation is serious, the uterus needs to be removed. This will cause certain harm to the female body and will also make it impossible for women to give birth normally. It has a great impact on women's physical and mental health. After hysterectomy, you must pay attention to physical maintenance in order to recover health faster. Let's learn about the maintenance methods after hysterectomy.

Maintenance methods for hysterectomy

1. People who have had a hysterectomy will no longer have menstruation.

2. 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.

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

4. 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.

5. After using the toilet, wipe from front to back to avoid infection

6. Observe the wound daily to see if it is red, swollen, hot, painful or has abnormal secretions. If you have any of the above symptoms, please return to the doctor as soon as possible.

7. Eat more fruits and vegetables and high-fiber foods, and drink 2000-3000cc of water every day to prevent constipation.

10. Eat more foods containing protein, vitamins and iron, such as fish soup, grapes, cherries, vegetables, etc.

For women of childbearing age, hysterectomy can be fatal, but sometimes we really do it for our health. Here I would like to remind those women who have undergone hysterectomy to adjust their mentality in order to recover soon.

The above is an introduction to the maintenance methods after hysterectomy. After understanding it, we know that women must adjust their mentality in time after hysterectomy, and pay more attention in daily life.
