After surgery for a uterine cyst, one should rest for approximately 7 to 10 days. During this procedure, the cyst wall is opened to allow the fluid to drain, and then the wall is trimmed before completing the surgery. After the operation, anti-inflammatory medications should be taken under a doctor's guidance. It is important to stay warm, keep the external genital area clean, and wash it with warm water to prevent pathogens from entering the vagina. Avoid using bathtubs or similar facilities for one month. Monitor vaginal bleeding; if any abnormalities occur, promptly return to the hospital for a follow-up examination.
