What should be noted after uterine fibroid surgery?

Patient's question:

My wife had sudden stomach pain a few weeks ago and went to the emergency room. The doctors said she had a very large uterine fibroid and had emergency surgery. She has now been in the hospital for half a month and is preparing to go home to fully recover. I want to ask what precautions should be taken for someone in her situation?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the current situation, if the uterine fibroid surgery has been performed and the recovery is currently good, it is still possible to implement careful observation. First, it is necessary to clarify the condition of the scar at the specific incision site—whether it is healing well or if there is a recurrence of local incision redness, swelling, or exudation. It is also essential to determine if there are any abnormal vaginal bleeding symptoms at present.
Adopt a light and nutritious diet, avoid overexertion, and take appropriate rest. In addition to medication treatment for uterine fibroids, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in outdoor activities more often. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
