Patient's question:
My wife has been complaining about abdominal pain for a while now. At first, I didn't take it too seriously, but recently, her leukorrhea has been abnormal, and she also feels like there's a small lump in her abdomen. The day before yesterday, I accompanied her to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. The doctor said my wife has uterine fibroids and needs surgery.What are the postoperative precautions for uterine fibroid surgery?
Doctor's answer:
After surgery for uterine fibroids, it is important to avoid overexhaustion, especially during menstruation. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. However, mangoes, which have a medicinal effect when applied externally, should not be consumed by women during menstruation, as they may otherwise lead to the development of uterine fibroids. Always maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, and wear loose underwear. If there is excessive discharge, it is important to clean the external genitalia frequently and visit the hospital regularly for thorough examinations. There are several treatment methods for uterine fibroids, but since symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approaches differ accordingly. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to receive a prompt diagnosis to ensure the correct treatment.
