Nursing Post Operative Care For Hysterectomy
What is Hysterectomy?
Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus, and sometimes the cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries as well. This Gynaec surgery is the most common non-obstetrical surgical procedure in the world. After a hysterectomy, a woman can no longer have menstrual periods or become pregnant. Typically performed through the abdomen or the vagina, hysterectomy is used to treat several conditions, including heavy or painful periods, fibroids and uterine prolapse.
Immediately after hysterectomy, one can expect to:
Recovery and departure
Managing pain during the post operative care for Hysterectomy
Some pain or discomfort follows most procedures and it can be managed with pain killers for the first few days post which, the pain starts reducing and one can also wean off from pain medications. The severity and the location of the pain is dependent upon the form of procedure. For instance, patients with an abdominal/laparoscopic hysterectomy involved abdominal incisions and the abdominal region may pain more additional the uteral region may be injured and there could be endometrial ablation and the same can be accompanied with a discomfort feeling like menstrual cramps.
Some women find it useful to avoid awkward positions or actions, support their belly with a folded blanket or cushion, or to keep a hot water bag over the painful area.
Even while having continuous pain immediately following the surgery, one must continue to take pain killers as prescribed by the treating doctor and communicate if the pain is not reduced and the discomfort persists.
When pain reduced, or once it goes away, the patient can totally get off from the pain medicine as it is not essential for healing purpose.
Taking pain drugs or more frequently than prescribed could be harmful.
Pain medication can be obtained over-the-counter basis prescription during the period of post operative care for hysterectomy. Your physician will provide you a prescription for pain medication if he/she believes it will be required. Normally after a day process, you might just require over-the-counter pain medicines including paracetamol (e.g. Panadol) or aspirin (e.g., Neurofen).
Occasionally more powerful medications are prescribed for example narcotics (e.g., oxycodone, hydrocodone), or mixtures of both paracetamol and codeine (e.g., Panadeine Forte).
If you are currently taking any drugs, you should discuss the safety aspects beforehand with your physician. Don’t drink alcoholic beverages, or/and drive, or do any other tasks that require attention while taking narcotic pain medicines. If the pain becomes intense and isn’t relieved from pain medications’ dose, call your physician.
How can we help in pre and post operative care for hysterectomy?
As that the patient recovery is ensured by a post operative nursing care, postoperative care is a vital element of the curing process. Post-operative care may be short term or long term or may entail procedure and its benefits are manifold.
If there is major surgery and a long-term requirement of nursing care, a patient may feel better and recover faster in the loving and warm family environment and it is better to assist such patients while they are at their homes. Aiding this kind of care is easily possible through our home services. We have nurses and other caregivers as needed, who are on our rolls and these would come to see with you and offer the care required while resting at home with family.
Therefore, if you require care in your home, look no farther! Care24 is very well equipped to help your speedy and comfortable recovery within the confines of your home and alongside your loved ones.
