How long does it take to recover from uterine cancer surgery

How long does it take to recover from uterine cancer surgery? Endometrial cancer is the second most common cancer affecting women's health in recent years, with an incidence rate second only to cervical cancer. The early treatment of endometrial cancer is effective. For patients with early endometrial cancer, total resection is generally recommended to prevent the disease from worsening and cancer cell metastasis. Generally, patients will recover about half a year after total resection.

First of all, the patient should rest in bed within one week after the hysterectomy, but not lie in bed for a long time. The patient can get out of bed and move around if he is in good mental state to promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function and avoid intestinal adhesion.
Secondly, after hysterectomy, you should pay attention to strengthening nutrition and eat more foods containing protein and vitamins. Supplementing the nutrients needed by cells can speed up wound healing. You should also pay attention to drinking more water, staying hydrated, eating more fruits and vegetables to promote bowel movements, and prevent bleeding caused by excessive abdominal pressure.
Finally, the three months after a total hysterectomy is an important period of recovery for patients. During these three months, patients should be careful to refrain from sexual intercourse and heavy physical labor to prevent pressure on the wound. They should also be careful not to lift heavy objects, reduce bending and climbing stairs, and can choose a suitable restraint belt.
