Dr. Chen Zhe
After open abdominal surgery for uterine fibroids, patients need to stay in the hospital for a period of time. During the recovery period, patients should wear an abdominal binder as directed by their doctor to reduce pressure on the abdomen; wearing a binder also helps prevent wound dehiscence. Patients should enhance their nutrition through diet after surgery and consume more high-nutrition supplements to promote postoperative recovery. High-protein foods such as eggs, milk, fish soup, and chicken soup are recommended. Patients should also get out of bed for appropriate activity during recovery and avoid prolonged bed rest.
