How to care for ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is one of the diseases that everyone will not ignore, mainly because this disease will affect and endanger people's normal life and body, so it is necessary for everyone to know more about it. In fact, everyone should also know that ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor disease, which will endanger people's lives when it is serious, so everyone must receive treatment in time, then how much do you know about the care after surgical treatment?

1. The patient should maintain a good postoperative posture after surgery. For patients who are undergoing general anesthesia, if the patient is not fully awake, they can lie flat. It is worth noting that you should not put a pillow under the patient's head to one side to prevent saliva or vomit from entering the patient's respiratory tract to prevent suffocation or respiratory tract infection. If it is only hard external anesthesia or spinal anesthesia, the patient needs to lie flat for 4-6 hours after surgery to prevent increased intracranial pressure from inducing headaches.
2. Things to keep in mind during postoperative care for ovarian cancer: If you feel unwell, have a rapid heartbeat, fever, or bleeding at the surgical site, you should inform the nursing staff in time; within 3-5 days after surgery, it is normal for patients to maintain a body temperature of around 38 degrees. This phenomenon is postoperative heat absorption, or reaction heat.
3. After the operation, the doctor may place a urinary catheter, abdominal drainage tube, or vaginal drainage tube for the patient according to the patient's condition to prevent postoperative organ infection and help the recovery of the organ. Before the patient gets better, the drainage tube should be prevented from falling off, blocking, and folding before it is removed. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to the patient's recovery. These are all effective measures for postoperative care of ovarian cancer patients.
