How to maintain after hysterectomy?

Many people always think that the uterus is simply a reproductive organ. In fact, in addition to its reproductive function, the uterus also plays a role in regulating hormone levels in the body. However, some diseases in life have to remove the uterus, which will cause women to look particularly old and have menopause in advance. This will also cause certain psychological pressure. If you pay attention to physical maintenance after hysterectomy, it can also be greatly improved. Let's learn about how to maintain a hysterectomy.

How to maintain after hysterectomy?

1. After hysterectomy, observe whether the wound is red, swollen, hot, painful or has abnormal secretions. If so, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

2. Within 2 months after the operation, women should wait until the deep tissues in the pelvic cavity recover before having normal sexual life. If a woman has undergone a total hysterectomy, she should abstain from sexual intercourse for 3 months after the operation.

3. Within 2 months after the operation, women should avoid lifting objects heavier than 3 kg, avoid bending over to pick up objects and climbing stairs. They can use a belly band appropriately.

4. Do not sit for long periods of time or travel long distances within 3 months after surgery. Avoid exercises that may increase abdominal pressure, such as yoga and rhythmic dance, to prevent pelvic bleeding.

5. After surgery, women should wipe from front to back when going to the toilet to avoid infection. Do not do vaginal irrigation or tub bath within 6 weeks. If you have undergone bilateral oophorectomy, you are prone to osteoporosis and should pay more attention to it in your daily life.

6. Adjust physiological rhythm. Adjust your work and rest schedule and arrange your diet and daily life reasonably. People who stay up late all year round should follow a work and rest schedule and constantly modify it until they adapt.

7. Strengthen physical exercise. After surgery, women can exercise according to their age and interests to improve their physical fitness. When you feel low on energy or sleepy, do some gymnastics, Tai Chi, or go outdoors for some exercise.

8. Eliminate worries and fears, build confidence, maintain a happy mood and high spirits, participate in more beneficial activities, and divert attention appropriately.
