Uterine prolapse hysterectomy surgery precautions

Precautions after hysterectomy for uterine prolapse generally include avoiding lifting heavy objects after surgery, taking medication as prescribed by the doctor, regular check-ups, prohibiting sexual intercourse, and paying attention to diet.

Precautions after hysterectomy for uterine prolapse:

1. Avoid lifting heavy objects: Try to avoid behaviors that increase abdominal pressure within three months after surgery, such as constipation, lifting heavy objects, heavy physical work, coughing, and high-intensity fitness exercises. Since the wound has not healed after surgery, avoid behaviors that increase abdominal pressure, which is not conducive to recovery.

2. Take medicine as ordered by the doctor: Patients must take medicine as ordered by the doctor after surgery and must not be careless to avoid physical discomfort or surgical complications.

3. Regular follow-up: Patients should have follow-up examinations at the prescribed time recommended by the doctor after surgery so that the doctor can better check the degree of wound healing.

4. Prohibition of sexual intercourse: Patients should refrain from sexual intercourse for three months after surgery. They should also pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva, wash it every day as required by the doctor to avoid infection, change underwear frequently, and avoid wearing tight clothing to avoid affecting blood circulation.

5. Dietary precautions: After surgery, patients can eat more pork liver, red dates, lean meat, eggs and other substances to supplement the various nutrients needed by the body and help the body recover. It is forbidden to eat spicy and irritating foods to avoid wound infection and aggravate the condition.
