How to take care of uterine fibroids after surgery? What abnormal symptoms will appear after uterine fibroids surgery?

After discharge from hospital, the incision on the abdominal wall should be kept dry. Bathing is prohibited after one week. Because the sutures have just been removed and the needle holes have not healed completely, and the scabs on the incision have not fallen off, bathing is not suitable. Of course, the skin on the whole body should still be kept clean, preferably with a sponge bath, and the perineum should be washed every night or after defecation.

Postoperative pain care for uterine fibroids

A. Generally speaking, there may still be slight hanging pain at the incision in the abdomen when you are discharged from the hospital. It is normal to have needle pain from time to time. If the incision pain is obvious, you need to check whether it is red and swollen to rule out the possibility of infection. If there is pus squeezed out, you need to go to the hospital for a dressing change. Only redness and swelling can be bought and installed on the base of the table lamp. After proper placement, irradiate the abdomen twice a day, 20 minutes each time, and it is best not to feel hot.

B. Low back pain: Mild pain usually improves on its own after a few days of rest. If the pain is severe, you need to go to the hospital and ask the doctor to eliminate the sequelae left by the anesthesia, and use some medicine if necessary.

C. Painful urination: Most patients will not have this symptom. A few may experience radiating pain in the lower abdomen, which may be caused by surgery. Because the uterus and bladder are adjacent, such as pelvic adhesions, the removal of the uterus and bladder separation may cause some abrasions. After a few days, drink more boiled water, urinate consciously, and do not hold urine for too long. If the urethra is painful, it may be caused by urinary tract infection. Mild patients should drink more boiled water every day, and severe patients need to go to the hospital for further examination and treatment.

Abnormal symptoms may occur after uterine fibroid surgery

A. Vaginal bleeding: If there is a wound on the uterine wall after intramural myoma or submucosal myoma resection, a small amount of vaginal bleeding will occur after the operation. It usually does not last more than 10 days. It is normal. If it lasts more than half a month, you should go to the hospital for examination.

B. There is generally no bleeding after total resection, but if the cervical margin is high, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding during menstruation. The amount depends on the level of the cervical margin. For example, if the margin is high, there is more endometrium remaining, and the vaginal bleeding is relatively more. On the contrary, the vaginal bleeding is less.

C. After total hysterectomy, a small amount of yellow or bloody discharge can be observed for a few days within 10-15 days and will disappear naturally. If there is purulent discharge, it may be infection of the vaginal incision stump or vaginitis. You should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to find out the cause and treat it in time. If a patient with subtotal or total hysterectomy has a lot of vaginal bleeding, it may be a fissure, and you should go to the hospital for emergency examination immediately.

④Diet: After discharge, you should eat a light, easily digestible diet high in protein, vitamins and minerals. Eat more vegetables and fruits to keep your bowels open. Due to constipation, the residual sutures of the vagina are prone to thinning and rupture and bleeding.

⑤ Sexual life adaptation: Sexual life is prohibited for one month after uterine fibroids are dug out. Subhysterectomy and total hysterectomy can resume sexual life after two or three months of normal hospital review. However, sexual problems of patients with gynecological tumors are not only affected by physiology and psychology, but also by the wrong ideas of patients and their sexual partners, which often make women worry that they are no longer women, their husbands no longer love them, and they no longer have sex. In fact, these worries are unnecessary. You can contact the nurse or doctor to ask the reason, eliminate unnecessary worries, and make their sex life harmonious and happy.
