Key points of postoperative care for uterine fibroids that require high attention

Surgical treatment is one of the treatment methods for uterine fibroids. In order to achieve a good recovery effect for patients with uterine fibroids, effective care is very important. So what are the key points of postoperative care for uterine fibroids ?

1. Daily life: For postoperative care of uterine fibroids, you can resume your normal schedule in the second week after the operation. Eight weeks after the operation, you can gradually increase the amount of exercise according to your personal physical strength and constitution. This can reduce future discomfort caused by temporary reduction in pelvic support.

2. Wound care: After surgery, the wound of patients with uterine fibroids is usually one centimeter long at the navel. The postoperative care of uterine fibroids should be kept clean and dry. Experts remind that patients with uterine fibroids can only take a shower or get wet after the wound is completely healed in about ten days.

3. Vaginal bleeding: During surgery, in order to allow for a clear examination of the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the back of the uterus or to provide sufficient space for surgery, a uterine support device is usually placed in the vagina (not used for unmarried women). Therefore, there will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding after the operation, which is normal. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than two weeks, you should consult a doctor to see if there is any abnormality.

4. Nutritional intake: In principle, the nutritional intake after surgery is the same. Postoperative care for uterine fibroids requires more water intake to replenish the loss of body fluids during surgery. High-protein foods should be consumed to accelerate wound healing, and irritating foods and gas-producing foods should be avoided.

Through the above four aspects of the introduction to the key points of postoperative care for uterine fibroids, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. It is very important to do a good job of postoperative care for uterine fibroids. I hope that patients and their families will pay more attention, follow the doctor's orders for effective care, and I hope that patients can recover soon.
