Patient's question:
52-year-old female knows she has discomfort in her body, so she hasn't gone to see a doctor. Please ask: After a total hysterectomy for uterine fibroids, what aspects should be paid attention to?Doctor's answer:
A total hysterectomy is a significant surgical procedure that can cause considerable psychological trauma. The wound healing time is approximately 7-10 days. In addition to the wound on the lower abdomen, there is also a wound at the vaginal stump. The healing time for the vaginal wound is slightly longer than that of the abdominal wound, taking about 10 days. Therefore, during postoperative care and recovery, it is essential to pay attention to this characteristic. Do not experience any psychological stress, maintain a positive mood, and ensure adequate rest during this period. Additionally, maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, as this will benefit both you and the fetus in your womb.
