Daily care after ovarian cystectomy

Ovarian cystectomy is suitable for patients with no menstrual disorders or even complicated pregnancy. According to the nature of the cyst, the patient's physical condition and some differences in postoperative recovery, the patient's daily care after surgery can be divided into the following aspects:

Wound care

You should stay in bed for 3 days after the operation, change the dressing materials in time, keep the wound clean, and pay attention to protecting the wound. Follow the doctor's advice not to take a bath in the short term after the operation to avoid wound contamination.

Diet care

You should choose high-protein, easily digestible foods, such as porridge and soup. Fish is also a good choice. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals, which can enhance the body's immunity and help wound healing. They are essential nutritional foods for the postoperative recovery period. Avoid irritating foods, such as peppers, ginger, raw garlic, strong tea and coffee; avoid hot foods, such as mutton, beef, dog meat and seafood.

It should be noted that nutritional supplements are needed after surgery, but in moderation and remember not to overdose.

Take rest

Patients should pay attention to rest after surgery, especially maintain good sleep, and try not to stay up late. It is not advisable to do strenuous exercise or heavy physical labor within half a month, but you can do soothing activities such as yoga, Tai Chi, walking, etc., and pay attention to the combination of work and rest at work.

Psychological care

A good mental state is conducive to the recovery of the disease. Women after surgery should maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude and maintain a calm and stable mood which is conducive to the rapid recovery of the body.
