How long is the recovery time after uterine fibroid surgery? What are the precautions for preventing uterine fibroids?

In the past, the age for hysterectomy for patients with fibroids was set at over 45 years old. Now, based on the actual situation, especially based on the progress of gynecological endocrinology, the age for ovarian preservation is generally 50 years old (the average age of menopause is 49.5 years old), that is, people under 50 years old who can preserve their ovaries should do so. So how long does it take to recover from uterine fibroid surgery? What should be paid attention to in prevention?

To prevent uterine fibroids, you should take the following precautions:

1. Keep the vulva clean and dry, and wear loose underwear. If there is too much vaginal discharge, you should pay attention to flushing the vulva at any time.

2. Avoid excessive fatigue, especially take enough rest during menstruation.

3. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less spicy and irritating foods. However, mango has a hemostatic effect among fruits, so people who are menstruating should not eat it, otherwise it will cause uterine fibroids.

4. Do not take too much estrogen, and pay special attention after menopause to avoid the growth of uterine fibroids.

5. Avoid getting pregnant again. Women with uterine fibroids may not recover well after an abortion, which often causes long-term bleeding or chronic genital inflammation.

6. After being diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you should go to the hospital for a checkup once a month. If the fibroids grow slowly or not at all, you can have a checkup every six months; if they grow significantly, you should consider surgical treatment to avoid severe bleeding or compression of abdominal organs.

7. If you have heavy menstrual periods, eat more iron-rich foods to prevent iron deficiency anemia.

8. Myomectomy can be used to preserve fertility, and surgical treatment is necessary.

Generally, it takes one month to recover after uterine fibroid surgery, and you can have sex in about one month, and you can get pregnant after three months. However, it is recommended to go to the hospital to review the recovery status and then follow the surgeon's advice.
