Daily care methods for uterine effusion

Uterine effusion should be treated actively and thoroughly, and temporary relief of symptoms should not be used as the standard of cure. At the same time, patients should pay attention to diet and nutrition. Many people are not very clear about the daily care of this disease. Let's take a look at the introduction of care measures for this disease.

1. Eliminate all routes of infection, keep the perineum clean and dry, wash the vulva with clean water every night, and use a dedicated basin for each person. Do not use your hands to wash the vagina, and do not use hot water or soap to wash the vulva. When the uterus is filled with fluid, there is a lot of leucorrhea, which is thick, so change your underwear frequently and do not wear tight or synthetic underwear.

2. If there is vaginal bleeding during menstruation, after abortion, and after gynecological surgery such as insertion or removal of an IUD, you must refrain from sexual intercourse, swimming, taking a tub bath, or a sauna. You must change sanitary napkins frequently. This will reduce the body's resistance and make it easy for pathogens to enter the body, causing infection.

3. Patients diagnosed with acute or subacute uterine effusion must follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with the treatment. Patients should rest in bed or take a semi-recumbent position to facilitate the localization of inflammation and the discharge of secretions. Patients with chronic uterine effusion should not overwork, combine work and rest, and moderate sexual intercourse to avoid worsening symptoms.

4. Fever patients usually sweat a lot when the fever subsides. They should pay attention to keeping warm and keeping the body dry. Change clothes when sweating and avoid using air conditioning or direct convection wind.

5. Pay attention to the amount, quality, color and taste of leucorrhea. If the amount of leucorrhea is large, the color is yellow and thick, and it has a foul smell, it means that the condition is serious. If the leucorrhea changes from yellow to white (or light yellow), the amount changes from large to small, and the taste tends to be normal (slightly sour), it means that the condition has improved.

6. Patients with acute or subacute uterine effusion should maintain smooth bowel movements and observe the characteristics of the stool. If there is pus in the stool or a feeling of urgency, go to the hospital immediately to prevent pelvic abscess from rupturing the intestinal wall and causing acute peritonitis.

7. Some patients, who suffer from chronic uterine effusion, take antibiotics on their own when they feel a little uncomfortable. Long-term use may cause disturbance of vaginal flora, which may increase vaginal discharge and present as white bean curd-like leucorrhea. At this time, they should go to the hospital for treatment to rule out fungal vaginitis.

8. Antibiotics should be used in sufficient doses and for a long course of treatment to completely cure the disease and prevent it from turning into chronic uterine effusion.

9. Diet and care:

① You should eat more high-protein and high-vitamin foods, such as lean meat, liver, tofu, fruits and vegetables, etc. Spicy and irritating foods such as tobacco and alcohol should be strictly prohibited. At the same time, local hot compresses can be used for treatment, which can promote the natural absorption of inflammation, speed up blood circulation, and relieve the tissues with symptoms.

②Pay attention to dietary conditioning. Patients should eat a nutritious diet high in protein and vitamins, including lean meat, pork liver, tofu, chicken, fruits, vegetables, etc. Spicy and irritating foods such as tobacco, alcohol, and strong tea should be strictly prohibited.

10. Local hot compress treatment and care: In order to promote the absorption of inflammation, speed up blood circulation, relieve tissue adhesion, and improve local nutrition, you can apply hot compress to the lower abdomen every day. You can use hot water bottles, electronic heaters, etc. at home, or you can use coarse salt to heat a cloth bag for hot compress. As long as you persist, it will have a good effect.

Warm reminder: In terms of diet, patients with uterine effusion should avoid eating raw and cold foods such as cold drinks, fruits, etc. Do not eat spicy, warm, or irritating foods such as peppers, mutton, dog meat, and roosters. At the same time, be careful not to eat greasy, cold, and sticky foods, such as fatty meat, crabs, snails, and pickled and cured products.
