How to take care of yourself after hysterectomy?

Health is very important to everyone. Only with a healthy life can we have a wonderful life. Uterine fibroids have become very common in recent years and have become a health killer for middle-aged women. In fact, uterine fibroids are a benign tumor. As long as they are discovered and intervened early, they can be cured. Today we will talk about some maintenance methods after hysterectomy.

Diet after hysterectomy

1. Avoid greasy food. Eating too much greasy food will lead to fat accumulation, making wounds difficult to heal and weakening resistance to bacteria.

2. After surgery, patients should increase their protein intake. Foods such as fish, meat, beans, eggs, and milk are rich in protein, which can help wound healing and increase physical strength. In terms of meat, patients can choose more fish because fish is easier to digest and absorb, but remember to eat the meat and not just drink the soup.

3. In addition, you should also eat an appropriate amount of vegetables and fruits. Because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals, they can help patients heal their wounds and increase their body's resistance. At the same time, pay attention to drinking more water and avoid eating foods that easily cause bloating, such as onions, cabbage, sweet olives, soy products, etc.

4. Drink more water. Drink 2000-3000cc of water every day to prevent constipation.

5. Do not eat foods that easily cause bloating: such as onions, cabbage, olives, soy products, etc.

6. Eat at regular times and in regular amounts, and do not overeat.

7. Adhere to a low-fat diet and eat more lean meat, eggs, green vegetables, fruits, etc.

8. Eat more whole grains such as corn, beans, etc.

9. Eat nutritious dried fruits often, such as peanuts, sesame seeds, melon seeds, etc.

10. The most important thing about diet after hysterectomy is to avoid spicy food, alcohol, frozen food, etc. The diet should be light, and avoid eating irritating foods such as mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, and black fish. Avoid spicy foods and drinks such as chili peppers, peppercorns, raw onions, raw garlic, and white wine. Avoid eating foods that are hot, coagulant, or contain hormones, such as longan, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, and royal jelly.

11. If you have anemia, eat more foods high in iron, such as pork liver, black sesame, grapes, seaweed, wolfberry, shiitake mushrooms, etc.

The above eleven dietary taboos are very important for patients after hysterectomy and must be taken seriously. If you do not pay attention to dietary conditioning after the operation, on the one hand it will cause the wound to heal poorly, and on the other hand it will aggravate the condition. In addition to diet, patients should also maintain a happy mood and do some appropriate exercises regularly to enhance their resistance to the disease.
