Precautions after hysterectomy

The uterus is an important organ for a woman to conceive and grow children, so this also reflects the important reproductive role that the uterus plays in the female body. However, after giving birth, women's chances of developing uterine cancer will greatly increase. In the early stages of uterine cancer, drugs and surgery can effectively inhibit the spread of cancer cells. The surgery for uterine cancer mainly involves removing the woman's uterus. What problems should be paid attention to after removing the uterus?

1. Do not take a bath or douche for a period of time after hysterectomy. Wipe gently from front to back after going to the toilet to avoid infection.

2. Timely follow-up examinations should be conducted. One month after the operation, you should go to the hospital to check the healing condition of the operation. If any problems are found, they should be dealt with in time. This will speed up recovery and avoid other unnecessary troubles.

3. Pay special attention to your diet after surgery. Although there are no special foods that you need to avoid, in order to ensure smooth bowel movements, try not to eat greasy and indigestible foods. Drink plenty of water and eat more high-fiber foods to ensure smooth bowel movements, so as to avoid wound tears and infections that may be caused by constipation. At the same time, you should strengthen nutrition and add some blood-enriching ingredients as needed.

4. Do not lift heavy objects within a short period of time after the operation, and try to avoid activities such as bending over or climbing stairs. This will help the wound recover.

5. Pay attention to rest. You need to recuperate well after the operation to recover well, so you should stay in bed as much as possible. At the same time, regulate your daily routine and avoid unhealthy lifestyles such as staying up late.

6. Relax. A good mood is the basis of good health, so don’t have too much pressure in your heart. Relax more, do things that make you happy physically and mentally, and keep a positive mentality, which is very beneficial for recovery from illness.

The above are some issues that you need to pay attention to after hysterectomy. Although the uterus is of vital importance to women and hysterectomy has a significant impact on women, we should not be sad or frustrated, because hysterectomy is also for the health of the body. As long as we pay attention to postoperative precautions and maintain a happy mood, we can have a healthy body.
