How to care after uterine prolapse surgery?

Generally speaking, people will be very weak after surgery, so postoperative care and rehabilitation will be very important at this time. What I want to explain to you today is how to perform postoperative care and conditioning after the uterus is removed during uterine prolapse surgery? So next, the editor will take you to understand how to care and recuperate after uterine prolapse surgery to remove the uterus.

1. Encourage more turning over or bedside activities to promote the discharge of gas in the body and prevent bloating.

2. Keep the wound clean and dry. If there is exudate, inform the nursing staff immediately to change the gauze.

3. If you feel pain in the wound, you can tell the nursing staff and they can give you painkillers according to the doctor's orders.

4. After the gas is discharged, you can eat a light diet, such as white porridge and green vegetables. Do not eat gas-producing foods to prevent bloating, such as milk and beans.

5. The catheter can be removed on the second day after the operation, and the patient should be able to urinate within 5 hours.

6. Dietary recommendations: After passing gas, you can take high-protein, high-iron, high-fiber foods, such as cherries, grapes, fish soup, vegetables, etc., to prevent constipation and promote wound healing.

7. When getting out of bed to move around, avoid using abdominal pressure, such as bending over, squatting, climbing stairs, riding a motorcycle, or riding a bicycle, which may cause pain to the wound.

8. Wipe from front to back after using the toilet to avoid infection.

9. Hysterectomy is a major traumatic surgery and the wound recovery time takes about 7-10 days.

10. In addition to a wound in the lower abdomen, there is also a wound at the stump of the vagina. The vaginal wound takes longer to heal than the abdominal wound, about 10 days, so you must pay attention to this feature during postoperative health care and recovery.

11. Generally speaking, within one month after the operation, you should try to avoid going out for a walk, shopping in the mall, skipping rope, sitting for a long time playing cards, etc., and rest in bed more to reduce the gravity pressure on the vaginal wound and allow the wound to heal completely.

12. After one month, carry out some appropriate sobering outdoor activities, but the time should not be too long.

13. After total hysterectomy, the ligament tissue in the pelvis is traumatized and recovers slowly, so the rest time after surgery is 3 months. Sexual intercourse and bathing must be prohibited within 3 months.

14. After hysterectomy, the pelvic cavity becomes empty, and the intestinal tract in the abdominal cavity falls into the pelvic cavity. Some patients will have a feeling of abdominal falling or feeling that they can't breathe, and they need to adapt slowly. Especially some patients with intestinal adhesions after surgery will feel more obvious, and may even experience abdominal pain. Physical therapy can be considered.

The above is a detailed introduction on how to care and recuperate after uterine prolapse surgery. I believe that many friends should understand the care and recuperation methods after the above detailed introduction. As long as everyone can follow the above methods after the operation, I believe the condition will recover quickly.
