Patient's question:
My wife has been experiencing excessive menstrual bleeding for several months, so she went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Fortunately, when it was detected, it wasn't too large, so she was admitted to the hospital and underwent surgery right away. She had the surgery last week and has now been discharged to rest at home. Seeing her struggle with the illness, my heart aches for her, and I really want to make sure she gets plenty of rest.Doctor's answer:
It is important to always keep the wound clean and dry. After the wound has completely healed (about ten days), you may shower or get it wet. Most importantly, for laparoscopic patients, the hospital stay is very short. Therefore, after discharge, it is essential for patients to pay daily attention to whether the wound shows signs of redness, swelling, heat, or pain to prevent reinfection or recurrence of inflammation. However, inflammation after laparoscopic surgery is quite rare.Uterine fibroid patients can use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment while understanding professional treatment. In daily dietary habits, it is necessary to maintain proper eating habits and avoid stimulating foods.
