Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me how long after a hysterectomy and open abdominal surgery can I lie flat?Doctor's answer:
Hello: After uterine fibroid removal, at least two weeks of rest is required, and follow-up check-ups should be scheduled on time. On the day of surgery, fasting is necessary because anesthesia and intestinal traction during the procedure can affect gastrointestinal function, leading to weakened peristalsis. Early food intake can exacerbate gastrointestinal dysfunction. Before passing gas postoperatively, a sugar-free, milk-free semi-liquid diet should be consumed. After passing gas, a regular diet should be gradually introduced based on the patient's condition. Pregnant women can appropriately consume roast duck, pay attention to prenatal care and daily nursing, and supplement trace elements appropriately. Regular prenatal check-ups are recommended. Maintain a healthy dietary habit and avoid harmful factors.
