Patient's question:
I am a 53-year-old woman. Recently, when washing my underwear, I have been finding a lot of curd-like discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. Please ask: How should I regulate my body after having a hysterectomy?Doctor's answer:
No matter which type of surgery you have undergone, the most basic thing is to pay attention to rest and enhance nutrition. Eating more high-protein foods helps with the healing of the abdominal incision. In addition to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the private area after surgery, it is absolutely crucial to prevent inflammation from recurring. Within the first two months after surgery, regular outpatient follow-up is necessary. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to keeping a good mood in daily life. It is also important to eat light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
