Patient's question:
What are the effects after uterectomy? How should one recuperate after surgery?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to bleeding: About one week later, there will be red or light red discharge in the vagina, which gradually decreases in amount and has no obvious odor. If the bleeding lasts for more than 15 days, the amount of bleeding exceeds the menstrual flow, especially if the discharge has a foul odor and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent the condition from worsening.Proper nutrition: Adequate nutrition should be supplemented, and foods rich in protein and vitamins should be consumed, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meat, fresh fish, eggs, dairy products, or soy products.
Personal hygiene: Personal hygiene should be maintained to avoid infection. Avoid sexual activity for the first month. During the bleeding period, change sanitary pads frequently. Do not take baths for the first half month; only shower is allowed.
