Preoperative and postoperative nursing measures for endometrial cancer

With the increase of work and life pressure, many female friends do not pay attention to their physical health, which leads to the occurrence of gynecological diseases, especially endometrial cancer, which is a type of cancer and is difficult to cure. It must be taken seriously. In severe cases, it can cause patients to lose their precious lives. Of course, while cooperating with treatment, good care is also very important.

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 routine

After the treatment of endometrial cancer, even if the operation is successful, if the life after the operation 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.
