What should be paid attention to after uterine fibroid surgery? How should patients with uterine fibroids take care of their diet?

Some women may not be able to get good results with medication for uterine fibroids, so they will choose surgery. At this time, we must pay attention to postoperative care. So, what are the preventive measures after uterine fibroid surgery? Next, let's take a look at the experts.

Patients after uterine fibroid surgery should eat nutritious and easily digestible food. For the elderly and the weak, the time for eating liquid and semi-liquid food should be appropriately extended to promote digestion, such as lotus powder, orange juice, etc., or choose lean meat or fresh fish soup, which can not only ensure nutrition, but also enhance appetite, and the patient will recover quickly. The diet of patients after uterine fibroid surgery should not be too good. In daily life, patients often focus on high-protein, high-calorie diets and ignore the intake of vitamins. The body's repair requires a variety of nutrients, especially crude fiber foods. For patients who are bedridden after surgery, eating crude fiber foods can improve gastrointestinal activity and keep bowel movements smooth.

In principle, the nutritional intake after surgery is the same. We should drink plenty of water to replenish the loss of body fluids during surgery. Usually, you should be able to resume eating after laparoscopic surgery. First, drink some warm water. If there is no discomfort, you can start to eat liquid food (such as porridge), and you can resume your normal diet the next day. Since protein is needed for wound healing, you should eat high-protein foods (such as fish, lean meat and eggs...) to accelerate wound healing, and avoid irritating foods to avoid stimulating gastric acid secretion and causing gastrointestinal discomfort (such as peppers, smoke, oil, coffee).

The biggest difference between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery is that carbon dioxide needs to be infused during surgery to create pneumoperitoneum for easier operation, so it is easy for residual carbon dioxide gas to remain in the abdomen after surgery. Therefore, it is advisable to increase the intake of vegetables and high-fiber fruits after surgery, and avoid eating gas-producing foods such as sweet potatoes, beans, onions, etc., so as to reduce the discomfort caused by abdominal distension after surgery.

The above is a detailed introduction by experts on the precautions after uterine fibroid surgery. It is hoped that female patients can strictly follow the above precautions after uterine fibroid surgery, so that they can have a reasonable diet to promote recovery. At the same time, they should learn to treat various pressures in life with a normal mind and maintain a good attitude.
