Precautions after subtotal hysterectomy

Subtotal hysterectomy is a common surgical procedure in gynecology for benign gynecological conditions, such as fibroids or for younger women who require preservation of the cervix. After subtotal hysterectomy, it is important to pay attention to good post-operative care, keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and visit the hospital for regular review. It is important to prohibit intercourse for 1-2 months after subtotal hysterectomy to avoid inflammatory upstream infections. Because of preserving the cervix, cervical cancer screening and TCT, HPV examination should be performed regularly, as well as whether there is cervicitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, etc., and effective treatment should be given symptomatically according to the examination results. After subtotal hysterectomy, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition and carry out appropriate physical exercise to enhance the resistance of the body.
