Patient's question:
A friend had a total hysterectomy due to uterine fibroids. After the surgery, she was very agitated, in a bad mood, and often wanted to cry. She couldn't sleep, frequently wanted to get angry, and also experienced lower back pain. I often went to comfort her.Hello doctor, what are the things to pay attention to after a total hysterectomy for uterine fibroids?
Doctor's answer:
Hello. After having a hysterectomy due to uterine fibroids, it is important to get up and move around frequently and early to promote intestinal peristalsis and achieve a complete recovery. Once the intestinal peristalsis fully recovers after the surgery, you can eat many easily digestible foods and avoid many irritating foods to prevent abdominal pain. In a hysterectomy, the ovaries should be preserved, so it will not affect ovarian function. After the surgery, it is important to always maintain a calm mood and avoid excessive stress in daily life.
