Dietary care after uterine fibroid surgery What to eat after uterine fibroid surgery

Surgical treatment of uterine fibroids is currently common in clinical practice, but with the emergence of many emergencies, it is easy to cause many problems for people's recovery treatment, so we pay great attention to daily care. Let's analyze and introduce it in detail from the diet.

1. Eating time after uterine fibroid surgery

Patients should not eat too early after surgery. Six hours after surgery, patients should eat nutritious and easily digestible food. Generally speaking, after anal gas is discharged, patients can start drinking a small amount of water. If there is no discomfort, they can eat liquid food such as rice soup and vegetable soup, and then gradually transition to soft food and ordinary food.

2. The diet after uterine fibroid surgery should not be too refined

People's daily diet is mainly high-protein and high-calorie foods. But after surgery, the body's repair requires a variety of nutrients, and too good food is not conducive to nutrient intake. So you should eat more crude fiber foods. Crude fiber foods can enhance gastrointestinal activity and keep bowel movements smooth.

3. Nutritional supplementation after uterine fibroid surgery

Patients need to supplement nutrition after surgery. For example, due to the need for wound healing, patients with uterine fibroids should eat more high-protein foods after surgery to accelerate wound healing. For elderly and frail patients, they can eat more lean meat or fresh fish soup and other liquid and semi-liquid foods, which are not only conducive to digestion and appetite, but also can ensure nutritional intake and help patients recover. If the patient is malnourished, you can consider taking some oral high-energy comprehensive nutritional preparations. Generally speaking, patients with uterine fibroids should eat more lean meat, chicken, crucian carp, turtle, white fish, cabbage, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu and other foods after surgery.

4. Avoid eating after uterine fibroid surgery

Patients with uterine fibroids generally avoid eating spicy foods or drinks such as peppers, white wine, and garlic, and also avoid eating foods such as longan and red dates that are hot, blood-clotting, and contain hormones. However, due to the different surgeries used by patients with uterine fibroids, there are still some differences in some aspects. For example, foods such as sweet potatoes and onions should not be produced after laparoscopic surgery to reduce the discomfort caused by postoperative abdominal distension. Larger surgeries such as hysterectomy are more suitable for eating after 24 hours.

5. Avoid overeating after uterine fibroid surgery

Overeating and excessive calories will cause fat accumulation, which is a burden on the body after surgery. Of course, insufficient diet is also not conducive to the body's recovery. Therefore, you must pay attention to proper diet after surgery.

Surgery for patients with uterine fibroids is very necessary, and care is very important. Only by fully understanding the above strict dietary requirements can we better cope with it and lay a good foundation for the rapid recovery of the patient's body. Therefore, it is necessary to master these contents.
