Patient's question:
I was taking care of my grandson a while ago when I suddenly felt severe abdominal pain and couldn't lift him. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said there was a problem with my uterus. Due to uterine prolapse, he recommended that I have surgery. Now that the surgery is done, I would like to consult the doctor about what I should pay attention to after uterine prolapse surgery?Doctor's answer:
After uterine prolapse surgery, it is important to drink plenty of water, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, and consume more whole grains. Always maintain smooth bowel and bladder function. Rest more after surgery, avoid overexertion, and pay special attention not to increase abdominal pressure, such as standing for long periods, doing squatting movements, or engaging in strenuous activities. Avoid heavy physical labor and it is best to rest in bed. Do not have sexual intercourse until the wound has fully healed. Pay attention to nutrition after surgery to aid in the complete recovery of the wound.
