Hysteroscopy surgery is a surgical technique used to treat diseases within the uterus. Many people have undergone hysteroscopy surgery before, but too many people actually do not know whether hysteroscopy surgery should be performed with an intrauterine device or not. In fact, too many people do not know why intrauterine devices (IUDs) are inserted during hysteroscopy surgery, so they believe that IUDs are for contraception, but they do not know that IUDs are necessary during hysteroscopy surgery. This article will introduce whether hysteroscopic surgery requires an intrauterine device (IUD).
Should an intrauterine device be inserted during hysteroscopic surgery
After hysteroscopy surgery, it is necessary to have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted. The purpose of IUD insertion is not contraception, but to prevent adhesion between the anterior and posterior walls of the uterine cavity after foreign objects are placed in the uterus.
Postoperative precautions
Within 6 hours after surgery, adopt a supine position with the head turned to one side to prevent vomit from being inhaled into the trachea;
Since most patients have no pain after surgery, do not ignore massaging the patient's waist and legs. Flip the patient over every half hour to promote blood circulation and prevent bedsores from occurring;
After the liquid infusion is completed on the same day, the urinary catheter can be removed and the patient is encouraged to get out of bed and move around;
Six hours after the operation, the patient can be fed a small amount of liquid diet, such as thin rice soup, noodle soup, etc. Do not give patients sugary drinks such as sweet milk, soy milk powder, etc;
The incision of laparoscopic surgery is only 1 centimeter, so the abdominal dressing can be removed after one week and showered, and then normal activities can be gradually restored. A week ago, it was still important to pay attention to appropriate and light activities to help the body recover as soon as possible.
This article briefly introduces whether hysteroscopy surgery requires an intrauterine device (IUD). In fact, IUD insertion is not for contraception, but for surgical purposes to avoid intrauterine adhesions. As a patient undergoing hysteroscopy surgery, it is important for you to know the things to pay attention to after the surgery so that you can recover better.
