Patient's question:
A 31-year-old woman, who usually doesn't have much going on, but after having sex with her boyfriend, she feels uncomfortable in her private area. Not only is the color of her discharge abnormal, but the odor is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling her for a long time. Please ask: What should be noted after uterine fibroid surgery?Doctor's answer:
After surgery, it is essential to rest more and avoid overexerting the body. Postoperative patients must wait for bowel movement before starting to drink water and defecate. The diet should primarily consist of liquid foods, such as rice soup and vegetable soup. Avoid overeating after surgery and maintain a regular, controlled intake—three meals a day at fixed times, with moderate food portions. After one month of recovery, it is recommended to visit the hospital for a thorough examination to assess the recovery of the uterus post-surgery. If possible, another check-up should be scheduled six months later.
