Ovarian tumor is a disease that affects the health of female friends. It has a high mortality rate. If it can be treated in time and proper care measures are taken for ovarian tumor, the disease can be cured. So, how should ovarian tumor be cared for? Let's find out together.

Patients with ovarian tumors have no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and most of them are in the late stage. The general condition of the patients is poor, and they should stay in bed after admission.

Psychological care is a difficult and frightening period for patients and their families when judging the nature of the tumor. The patients are in urgent need of relevant information support and are eager to get accurate diagnosis results as soon as possible. Once patients learn that they have a malignant tumor, their treatment may change their fertility status and previous lifestyle, which will cause great psychological pressure, and nursing staff are needed to help them cope with these pressures.

General postoperative care is similar to postoperative care for abdominal surgery. Generally, a semi-recumbent position is adopted after blood pressure stabilizes on the second day after surgery, which is conducive to the drainage of abdominal and vaginal secretions and reduces inflammation and abdominal distension. Patients undergoing intestinal resection should be temporarily fasted, and continuous gastrointestinal decompression should be performed according to the doctor's orders to maintain patency, and the drainage volume and nature should be recorded. For those whose intestines are not invaded, a liquid diet can be given on the second day, and gastrointestinal motility drugs can be taken at the same time to promote the recovery of intestinal peristalsis. After 3 days, a semi-liquid diet or ordinary diet can be changed according to the recovery of intestinal peristalsis to maintain smooth bowel movements. During bed rest, good skin care should be taken to avoid bedsores. Encourage activities in bed, tapping the back, and clearing sputum in time to prevent lung complications.
