After uterine fibroid removal, what should be noted?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I developed uterine fibroids, and the doctor recommended surgery to remove them. It's been over a month since the surgery, but now I'm experiencing some urinary frequency and urgency, and it always feels like I can't empty my bladder completely. Sometimes, urination also causes pain. I read online that this is due to the surgery not being fully recovered yet.

Doctor's answer:

It may be a urinary tract infection caused by surgery, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for a re-examination and consult a doctor for advice on targeted treatment. After surgery, it is important to avoid overexertion and pay special attention to rest during menstruation. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of spicy foods. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, and wear loose underwear. If there is excessive vaginal discharge, pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia regularly, and go to the hospital for regular re-examinations after surgery.
