About postoperative care for patients with endometrial cancer

We all know that endometrial cancer is a serious health problem for women and seriously affects their bodies. For the treatment of endometrial cancer, we generally use surgical treatment. While actively treating endometrial cancer, it is also necessary to do a good job of postoperative care for related matters. This will enable our patients to regain health as soon as possible. Let's learn more about how to care for endometrial cancer patients after surgery.

The survey results show that tea drinkers, especially green tea drinkers, have a lower risk of endometrial cancer than non-drinkers. And the more times you drink tea, the more significantly your risk of endometrial cancer is reduced. For those who drink tea 7 times or more per week, their risk of endometrial cancer is reduced by about 20%. For green tea drinkers who have no history of drinking or smoking, their risk of endometrial cancer is reduced by about 23%. Among them, those who drink more than 200 grams of green tea per month have a risk of endometrial cancer reduced by about 30%.

Researchers pointed out that endometrial cancer is a hormone-dependent tumor, and excessive estrogen exposure is its main cause. Green tea may reduce the risk of endometrial cancer by reducing estrogen levels in the body. In addition, tea polyphenols can enhance lymphocyte proliferation and enhance the body's immune function. Since there are no other reports on tea drinking and endometrial cancer, further epidemiological studies, especially cohort studies, are expected to confirm this.

How should patients with endometrial cancer be cared for after surgery? Experts explain as follows:

1. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva

The female reproductive organs are connected inside and outside, and some pathogenic microorganisms can easily invade the fallopian tubes and even the abdominal cavity through the vaginal opening. Therefore, keeping the vulva clean is an important means to prevent bacterial infection and ensure that the uterus does not become inflamed.

2. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene

Wash the vulva with clean warm water every day. At the same time, remember to change your underwear every day to ensure it is clean and dry. This is also the only way to prevent infection.

3. Strengthen dietary supplements

Eat more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, kelp, seaweed, fruits, etc. At the same time, avoid irritating foods such as peppers, peppercorns, raw onions, garlic, etc.

4. Take adequate rest

After surgery for endometrial cancer, patients should rest properly and avoid heavy physical labor so that their bodies can return to normal as soon as possible. At the same time, sexual intercourse should be prohibited to prevent infection of the reproductive organs.

5. Maintain a regular lifestyle After the treatment of endometrial cancer, even if the surgery is successful, if the postoperative lifestyle is not regular, it will increase bleeding or leave sequelae. The regularity mentioned here refers more to eliminating bad habits such as smoking and drinking.

The above content is about how to provide good postoperative care for patients with endometrial cancer. I hope it can provide some help to patients with endometrial cancer. We all know that there are risks for endometrial cancer, so we should reduce the incidence of endometrial cancer and choose better treatment methods.
