      Next we will introduce Uterine fibroids Things to note after surgery:

      Precautions after uterine fibroid surgery 1. Pay attention to cleanliness

      After discharge from the hospital, the incision on the abdominal wall needs to be kept dry, and you should not bathe again after a week (bath bathing is prohibited). Because the sutures have just been removed when you are discharged, the wound has not completely healed, and the scab on the incision has not fallen off, so bathing is not suitable. Of course the whole body skin It is still necessary to keep it clean, preferably by taking a bath, and washing the perineum every night or after defecation.

      Precautions after uterine fibroid surgery 2. Pay attention to the occurrence of abnormal symptoms

      1. Vaginal bleeding: For patients who undergo intramural fibroids or submucosal myomectomy, there are wounds on the uterine wall, which will cause a small amount of vaginal bleeding after the operation. Generally, it will not exceed 10 days, which is normal. If it is more than half a month, it should be treated Hospital examine;

      2. There is generally no bleeding after subtotal resection, but if the cervical incision margin is high, there may be a little vaginal bleeding every month on the day of menstruation. The amount depends on the height of the cervical incision margin. If the incision margin is high and there is a lot of endometrium residue, the vaginal bleeding will be relatively high. On the contrary, there will be less vaginal bleeding.;

      3. After total hysterectomy, there may be a small amount of yellow discharge or bloody discharge for 10-15 days, which can be observed for a few days and subside naturally. If purulent discharge appears, it may be that the vaginal incision stump is infected or Vaginitis You should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, find out the cause, and deal with it in time. If a patient who undergoes a sub-hysterectomy or total hysterectomy experiences a large amount of vaginal bleeding, it may be that the sutures are torn, and they should go to the hospital for emergency examination immediately.
