What to eat after cervical cancer surgery

The problem of cervical cancer is quite serious. Clinically, many cervical cancers develop from cervical diseases. Currently, most clinical treatments for cervical cancer are surgical treatments, and chemotherapy is also needed after surgical treatment to control the progression of the disease. Of course, in addition to conventional treatments, dietary care is also very important. So what foods should you eat to recover best after cervical cancer surgery?

1. Cervical cancer surgery is one of the most important treatments for cervical cancer. After the operation, vital signs need to be closely monitored, vaginal bleeding needs to be observed, abdominal and vaginal drainage needs to be maintained, the nature and amount of drainage needs to be observed, and a urinary catheter should be placed after the operation. After discharge from hospital, arrange rest and activity time reasonably and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. In terms of diet, patients are required to fast for 12 hours after surgery. Due to the influence of anesthesia, patients will have gastrointestinal reactions to varying degrees. The patient should be assisted to tilt his head to one side. In severe cases, symptomatic treatment can be given as prescribed by the doctor. After fasting for 12 hours, you can drink some water. After passing gas, give full liquid food, gradually semi-liquid food, until you can eat normally.

2. After cervical cancer surgery, you should eat small meals frequently and avoid foods that cause bloating, such as milk and soy milk. According to the recovery of the patient's intestinal function, gradually adjust the diet, pay attention to appropriately increase the intake of fresh, crude fiber vegetables and fruits, avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods, and prevent constipation. Patients with cervical cancer should eat more soybeans and their products. Such as tofu, soy milk, dried tofu, vegetables such as celery, broccoli, edamame, sweet beans and other foods. Because these foods can supplement plant estrogens. At the same time, supplement the trace elements zinc and selenium. Zinc and selenium play an extremely important role in the production and function of immune cells.
