What are the precautions after subtotal hysterectomy

summary

My aunt was diagnosed with uterine fibroids a few days ago. The doctor suggested that my aunt remove the whole uterus to prevent the spread of the disease and endanger her health. And recently, because everyone has no time, I have been taking care of my aunt in the hospital. Now I will tell you about the precautions after subtotal hysterectomy.

What are the precautions after subtotal hysterectomy

First: total hysterectomy can be used for the treatment of normal cervical examination, urinary symptoms, female urinary system and reproductive system have homology, both estrogen dependent organs. The decrease of estrogen level after hysterectomy can make the elastic tissue around the urethra thin, lead to urinary incontinence, atrophy of urethral mucosa, decrease of resistance, easily induce urinary tract infection, and cause a series of urinary tract irritation symptoms such as frequent micturition, urgency and pain.

Second, the endocrine regulation of uterus and ovary forms a feedback system with the central nervous system. After hysterectomy, this feedback link is destroyed, especially when the level of estrogen decreases, it will interfere with the normal secretion and metabolism of central neurotransmitters, which can cause different degrees of anxiety and depression symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, lack of interest, insomnia and dreaminess, memory loss, etc., thus reducing the quality of life of women.

Third: sexual dysfunction, estrogen is the most important regulatory hormone of female sexual function, and the ovary is the main secretory organ. After hysterectomy, the blood circulation and function of the ovary are affected by it. Most women will experience different degrees of sexual function changes, such as decreased or lack of libido, decreased frequency of sexual activity, decreased sexual responsiveness, difficulty in orgasm and hypoesthesia of reproductive organs.

matters needing attention

Because we all know that patients will have a great psychological burden after hysterectomy, so we must appease the patients' psychology. At the same time, we should also ensure adequate nutrition for patients, remember light diet, feed patients with a glass of boiled water every morning, and pay attention to patients' physical changes at all times.
