What should be paid attention to after uterine fibroid surgery? What are the nursing methods after uterine fibroid surgery?

Uterine fibroids are a disease that seriously endangers the health of the female reproductive system. Many uterine fibroids are benign tumors, but if they continue to grow, they can also cause great harm to the patient. Many patients and friends ask: What should patients who have undergone uterine fibroid surgery pay attention to? In many cases, no matter what surgery is performed, the body is relatively weak. The same is true after uterine fibroid surgery, especially for women, we should pay more attention. There are many aspects that should be paid attention to in the postoperative conditioning of uterine fibroids. The specific details are as follows:

1. Postoperative cleaning. The abdominal wall incision should be kept dry after the patient is discharged from the hospital, and a bath should be taken after one week (bathing is prohibited). Since the sutures have just been removed when discharged from the hospital, the needle holes have not yet completely healed, and the incision scab has not yet fallen off, it is not appropriate to take a bath. Of course, the skin of the whole body still needs to be kept clean. It is best to wash the perineum every evening or at night.

2. Nutritional intake. In principle, the nutritional intake after surgery is the same to replenish the loss of body fluids during surgery. Eat high-protein foods to accelerate wound healing, and avoid irritating foods and gas-producing foods.

3. Daily life. You can resume your normal routine in the second week after surgery. Eight weeks after surgery for uterine fibroids, you can gradually increase your exercise according to your physical strength and constitution. This can reduce the discomfort caused by the temporary reduction of pelvic support.

4. Postoperative pain care. Generally speaking, the patient may still have slight hanging pain in the abdominal incision when he is discharged from the hospital. It is normal to have acupuncture 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 dressing change. Only redness and swelling can buy infrared bulbs and install them on the base of the table lamp. After proper placement, irradiate the abdomen twice a day, 20 minutes each time. It is best not to feel hot.
