Review of uterine fibroids after surgery

Post-operative review of uterine fibroids is usually recommended at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after surgery. Review items mainly include gynecological examination, ultrasound examination, blood test, etc. The specific review time and items need to be adjusted according to the surgical method, fibroid size and postoperative recovery.

The purpose of follow-up examination after uterine fibroid surgery is to monitor postoperative recovery and detect possible complications or signs of recurrence in a timely manner. The review one month after surgery mainly evaluates the wound healing and checks for early complications such as infection or bleeding. The follow-up examination 3 months after the operation focuses on observing the recovery status of the uterus, and determining whether there are residual fibroids or new lesions through ultrasound examination. The follow-up examination 6 months after surgery mainly assesses whether hormone levels are stable, and blood tests can help determine whether anemia has been corrected. The 12-month postoperative review is an important node for long-term follow-up, which requires a comprehensive evaluation of the surgical effect and the probability of fibroid recurrence. If abnormalities are discovered during the review process, it may be necessary to increase the review frequency or adjust review items.

During the postoperative review period, regular work and rest should be maintained to avoid overexertion. Pay attention to a balanced diet and increase high-quality protein and iron-rich foods in an appropriate amount to help promote postoperative recovery. Avoid foods that may affect hormone levels, such as royal jelly. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within 3 months after surgery, and strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor are avoided. Keep the perineum clean to prevent infection. If symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain or fever occur, you should seek medical attention in time for review.
