Can I drink soy milk after hysteroscopic surgery?
In general, patients can drink soy milk after hysteroscopic surgery, but should do so in moderation. The detailed explanation is as follows:
Soy milk is a nutritious beverage rich in beneficial components such as soy protein, soy lecithin, vitamins, and niacin. These nutrients play a positive role in postoperative recovery following hysteroscopic surgery. Drinking soy milk in appropriate amounts helps replenish essential nutrients, promotes wound healing, and supports overall recovery.
Although hysteroscopic surgery is performed under general anesthesia and may affect the patient's digestive system, soy milk is easily digestible and, when consumed in moderation after surgery, does not place excessive strain on the gastrointestinal tract. However, considering that gastrointestinal function may be weakened after surgery, it is advisable to wait until basic gastrointestinal function has recovered before starting to drink soy milk, to avoid discomfort such as bloating.
In daily life, patients should maintain a light diet after hysteroscopic surgery and avoid spicy, raw, cold, or other irritating foods to prevent interference with the recovery process.
