Three aspects of care are essential for patients with uterine fibroids after hysterectomy

Uterine fibroids are benign gynecological tumors that are common in middle-aged women. Those with more severe uterine lesions require a total hysterectomy. Hysterectomy has a certain degree of impact on women's physiology and psychology. After the operation, special care should be given to three aspects.

1. Correctly understand your condition

After the operation, medical staff should patiently popularize relevant medical knowledge about uterine fibroids to family members and patients, help patients and families correctly understand uterine fibroids, actively formulate practical rehabilitation plans after discharge, give patients positive encouragement and support, and help patients build confidence and determination to overcome the disease.

2. Emphasize the importance of regular review and strict medication

After a total hysterectomy, patients must not relax their vigilance and should strictly follow the doctor's instructions for follow-up examinations and medication. Generally, regular check-ups are conducted every 3-6 months. Patients who are taking hormone therapy must strictly follow the doctor's instructions and must not stop taking the medication without authorization or take too much medication to avoid withdrawal bleeding or virilization.

3. Husband’s care and understanding

Many women think that they are no longer complete women after hysterectomy, and even feel guilty towards their husbands. At this time, the husband should be made aware of uterine fibroids, understand the patient's difficulties and physical discomfort, and care and encourage his wife. In addition, hysterectomy will also affect sex life. Letting the patient open up and relax is more conducive to physical recovery.
