Is it necessary to wear an abdominal binder after uterine fibroid surgery?

Patients require an abdominal binder after uterine fibroid surgery. Typically, the abdominal binder can be worn starting three days postoperatively. Wearing it helps compress the surgical wound to control bleeding and significantly aids recovery from uterine fibroid surgery. Patients should attempt early ambulation as soon as possible after surgery to effectively prevent thrombus formation. Patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery recover more rapidly; those returning to work may wear the abdominal binder when leaving home daily, but prolonged use should be avoided.
