Nursing strategies after ectopic pregnancy surgery

After surgery for ectopic pregnancy, patients need to take good care of themselves in all aspects, from diet to hygiene, to prevent infection and other diseases. The specific care strategies are as follows.

1. Patients should pay attention to diet and nutrition after surgery to ensure protein intake. Protein is an important component of antibodies. If the intake is insufficient, the body's resistance will be reduced.

2. After the operation, patients should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid doing heavy physical labor, try to reduce abdominal pressure, and those with constipation can use laxatives to prevent the mass from rupture.

3. Regular follow-up after ectopic pregnancy surgery is very important. The patient needs to be re-examined one month after discharge or after the menstruation ends.

4. After the operation, patients should also pay attention to protecting the fallopian tubes. The female reproductive organs are connected inside and outside, and some pathogenic microorganisms can easily invade the fallopian tubes or even the abdominal cavity through the vaginal opening, so it is important to do a good job of prevention.

5. Patients should take contraceptive measures after the operation. If they have given birth, and B-ultrasound shows that the mass has disappeared, they can have sexual intercourse after the follow-up is completed. If they have not given birth and want to prepare for another pregnancy, they need to wait until B-ultrasound shows that the mass has disappeared before performing fallopian tube insufflation. Pregnancy can only be achieved after both fallopian tubes are unobstructed.

6. After surgery, patients should also pay attention to menstrual hygiene to prevent infection. When the resistance is low, try to avoid going to public places and keep warm to prevent colds. In addition, medicine often uses the amount of lactobacilli in vaginal secretions to determine the cleanliness of the vagina and judge the self-cleaning function of the vagina.
