How to take care of yourself after hysterectomy?

Probably many people know that uterine fibroids are a relatively common benign tumor. Many people with uterine fibroids do not have any symptoms and do not need treatment. However, some patients need surgery to remove larger uterine fibroids or multiple uterine fibroids. Today we will mainly learn about how some patients can maintain themselves after hysterectomy.

Within one month after the operation, you should rest in bed more to reduce the gravity pressure on the vaginal wound and allow the wound to heal completely. After one month, do some appropriate sobering outdoor activities, but the time should not be too long. The rest period after surgery is 3 months. Sexual intercourse and bathing must be prohibited within 3 months. Patients who have undergone hysterectomy should refrain from heavy physical labor or activities such as carrying water, lifting heavy objects, and mopping the floor within six months. Generally, you can resume sexual life after 3 months.

First, you should pay attention to strengthening nutrition. You should choose foods with small quantities but high quality of protein, fat and B vitamins, such as milk, beef, pork, fish, beans, etc. You can also eat some dried fruits such as walnuts, dates, longan, peanuts, etc., which can have an anti-fatigue effect.

The second is to strengthen physical exercise. You can exercise according to your age and interests to improve your physical fitness. If you feel lack of energy or sleepy after staying up late, you should do some gymnastics, Tai Chi or go outdoors for some activities.

The third is to adjust physiological rhythm. People who stay up late all year round should follow a work and rest schedule and constantly modify it until they adapt.

Fourth, eliminate mental burdens. People who often stay up late should avoid worry and fear. Instead, they should build confidence and maintain a happy mood and high spirits while working at night. Due to work reasons, I have to stay up late for a long time. I go to bed around 2 o'clock every day and get up at 7 o'clock, or go to bed at 20 o'clock and sleep until 12 o'clock, get up around 4:30 and get up again at 7 o'clock.

This is all we have to say about maintenance after hysterectomy. In addition to the above matters that need to be paid attention to after surgery, we would also like to remind everyone that an optimistic attitude and positive emotions are very important for the recovery of all diseases. Therefore, patients should not have too much psychological burden and should believe that they will recover soon.
