Patient's question:
Recently, my menstrual flow has been quite heavy, containing many blood clots, which are dark red. The abdominal pain is severe, and I don't know what caused it. After a thorough examination, it was found that I have uterine fibroids. Now, I need to undergo surgery, so I would like to ask, what are the precautions for uterine fibroid surgery?Doctor's answer:
Should be noted: 1. Rest in bed for two to three days, avoid jumping to prevent wound rupture, and provide blood-activating drugs for postoperative pain; 2. Pay attention to (exhaust) conditions to prevent the recurrence of intestinal adhesion. After normal bowel sounds return, you can start a liquid diet. Wait until the intestines fully recover before returning to a normal diet. It is recommended to base it on light and avoid fried, smoked, and spicy irritating foods. 3. Postoperative patients with uterine fibroids can eat more liquid foods. Liquid foods not only help patients swallow dryly but also aid in absorption and prevent the wound from being irritated by chewing, which is beneficial for the wound's complete recovery. Therefore, patients with uterine fibroids after surgery can eat more liquid foods.
