What should I pay attention to when treating the wound after ectopic pregnancy surgery?

After ectopic pregnancy surgery, you should pay attention to keeping the wound clean, avoid contact with water too early, and use drugs to disinfect it.

1. Keep clean: Ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterus. Symptoms such as abdominal pain, menopause, and vaginal bleeding may occur, and more serious cases may be life-threatening. For those with more serious symptoms, surgical treatment is required. Surgery includes laparoscopic surgery and laparotomy. No matter which surgical method is used, it will cause trauma to the body, so keep the wound clean to avoid infection.

2. Avoid premature contact with water: Keep the wound dry and avoid premature contact with water. Since the water in daily life is not disinfected, it may contain bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. After the wound comes into contact with water, these pathogenic microorganisms may contaminate the wound, easily lead to wound infection, and are not conducive to wound healing.

3. Drug disinfection: The wound area also needs to be disinfected with iodine tincture. Iodine tincture has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, and can also prevent local infection.

In addition to the above precautions, you should also pay attention to your diet. Eat a light diet and avoid spicy foods such as peppers and ginger. Eat more lean meat, eggs and other protein-rich foods. No sexual intercourse within one month after surgery, and go to the hospital for regular checkups.
