Early period after operation
The first day after the intervention the patient will have to be held in an intensive roomtherapy. This is not caused by the danger of a condition that doctors can hide from it, such is the usual practice for controlling the performance of the body. After the termination of anesthesia, a woman may feel pain in the region of the incision, and also in the depth of the abdominal cavity. From some types of anesthesia, nausea and even vomiting are likely. But this happens once, does not fall out of the limits of the norm. The body so gets rid of the remnants of the drug. Feels strong weakness.
Stay in the hospital
The first time a woman spends in the hospital ward, she is provided with medical supervision. But she herself should follow her feelings, talk to them about the doctor.
The postoperative period after removal of the uterine myoma with the cutting of the abdominal wall lasts long enough because of the large area of tissue damage. Strangely enough, you can cut it if you move. This will give a chance to avoid adhesions, which cause long painful sensations and subsequent infertility, can force to conduct an intervention to dissect them. But the load needs to be dosed, do not torture yourself, do not go to exhaustion.
Pain after removal of myoma can be felt for 7-10 days in the hospital and later. The intensity depends on the ability to carry them. But the sensations should not be intolerable, this already indicates the onset of the inflammatory process. The usual pulling or aching pain is caused by irritation of the nerve roots, which are affected by tissue damage during surgery, and is the norm. It is felt mainly in the seam region. An analgesic drug is prescribed to reduce its acuity. And the prevention of infections is carried out by the appointment of antibacterial agents.
The first couple of days can remain weak, the temperature rises in the evening. All this is an ordinary postoperative reaction. With each passing day, the forces will return, the body temperature will return to normal.
Nutrition
Because the intervention affected not only the reproductive system, but also the abdominal wall, it is important that the work of the abdominal organs located in the abdomen is clear and does not provoke even more traumatization of the tissues. Therefore, the strip operation, in which the uterine myoma is excised, requires the entire postoperative period to monitor the diet, excluding certain products.
The first 2 days should be limited to broth, slightly boiled tea, yogurt, that is liquid, easily digestible food. You can not allow constipation, they force to a great strain of abdominal muscles, which is now strictly prohibited.
The diet after removal of the fibroids and upon returning home should consist of
- Lenten meat, fish;
- Oatmeal, buckwheat porridge;
- Soups on weak meat or vegetable broths;
- Rye bread;
- Vegetables, greens and fruits in any form;
- Sour-milk products.
Avoiding everything that provokes difficulties with defecation, increased formation of gases in the intestine, interferes with the healing of tissues:
- Jelly, kissels;
- Rice, mango;
- Muffins, sweets;
- Alcohol, strong coffee, tea;
- Soda;
- Fatty meat.
What can not be done after a hollow intervention
To improve the speed and quality of rehabilitation after the removal of uterine fibroids, a cavitary operation leads to a certain lifestyle and after discharge from the hospital. A woman should competently alternate physical activity and rest, regularly show herself to the doctor, visit him if problems arise. There is also a whole list of actions that should be temporarily postponed until full recovery:
- Load of any kind should be feasible. It's not just about fitness for the sake of beauty, but also for family responsibilities. This especially applies to the first month after discharge from the hospital. You can not stay in one position for a long time, it is strictly forbidden to lift weights in excess of 2-3 kg for 3-6 months after the operation. The next two years you can pick up no more than 10 kg of weight;
- After removal of , uterine fibroids should not be sexed for 1 to 3 months. This will have to be clarified by the doctor, guided by his own state of health;
- You can not, wishing to protect yourself from complications, spend a lot of time in an upright position. This contributes to the formation of adhesions, weakening of muscles, the appearance of thrombosis. You have to walk a lot in the fresh air, periodically resting;
- Recovery after removal of uterine fibroids involves avoiding stress. The increased nervous load in this period is contraindicated because it prevents not only the healing of tissues, but also the normalization of the balance of hormones. And they are important for many aspects of rehabilitation, especially in the reproductive sphere.
How to recover faster
Postoperative time does not require a rejection of normal life, suggesting only some limitations. Recommendations after removal of uterine fibroids, if carefully performed, will help not only to recover faster, without complications, but also to avoid recurrence of the disease:
- Limit exposure to the sun, generally try not to overheat. This is important for the healing of internal and external sutures, in conditions of coolness it goes faster. While they are not completely formed, you can not apply any creams, physiotherapy procedures for smoothing. Especially not shown solarium, sauna. Before the healing of the seam, it is necessary to wash in the shower, treating its surface with antiseptics;
- To be shown to the expert 2 times a year, to pass or take place US of a small basin. It is also worth having a photo of the postoperative suture at different stages of healing so that the doctor can compare it with what will be released later;
- For those who have been diagnosed with uterine fibroids, after the operation the recommendations include a wish for nutrition. From it it is necessary to exclude smoked products, salinity, to limit sugar. All this knocks down the balance of sex hormones, from the violation of which the development of a new benign tumor can depend;
- You can wear a bandage, take physiotherapy procedures only on the advice of a doctor. Both are not shown in all cases;
- Control your own menstruation. Problems in the reproductive system respond to the passage of critical days, the number of excretions, the intensification of soreness;
- Take care of contraceptives. Pregnancy in the first year after surgery is undesirable, since the uterus may not be ready to bear. Planning should be preceded by consultation with a specialist, with the necessary research.
Postoperative therapy with
medications. Getting rid of neoplasm is not limited to surgery. Treatment after removal of uterine fibroids is almost always supplemented by the intake of hormonal drugs, which allow to restore the overall balance of substances, exclude the possibility of relapse. It can be:
- Dufaston, Utrozestan, stimulating the second phase of the cycle;
- COC Jess, Regulon, Yarina, preventing excessive proliferative processes in the uterus.
It is compulsory to take multivitamin complexes with tocopherol, retinol, and also anti-adhesion agents( aloe).
We recommend reading the article on monthly for uterine myoma. You will learn about the causes of the disease and its effect on menstruation, the nature of the secretions, the ways of normalizing the cycle.
If the operation is laparoscopic
Laparoscopy of myoma of the uterus postoperative period makes it much less problematic and shorter. It is produced through punctures in the abdomen, that is, the area of affected tissues is minimal in comparison with the cavitary intervention. Healing is faster with less pain. Although they can bother not only in the abdomen, but also the shoulders, neck, shins due to the gas used in the operation.
You can get up already by the end of the first postoperative day. Physical activity is allowed in a larger volume, but in the first days exercises are especially important to eliminate the consequences of the presence of carbon dioxide in the abdominal cavity. The load still needs to be dosed in order not to cause divergence of the joints.
Otherwise, laparoscopically removed myoma postoperative period makes it similar to what it happens in the usual intervention.
The strip operation, by which the uterine myoma is removed, the postoperative period can also fill with complications. If there are abundant secretions with a bad smell, high fever, nausea, severe pain, you should immediately seek help.
