How to care after gallstone surgery

After gallstone surgery, patients need to pay close attention to the recovery process to promote healing and prevent complications. The first few days after surgery are usually a critical period, and patients should rest as much as possible and gradually resume activities. Special attention should be paid to diet, which should be based on a light, low-fat diet, and avoid greasy and irritating foods.

Most patients will experience some discomfort after surgery, such as mild diarrhea, indigestion, etc., which is usually temporary. In the face of these situations, the following measures can be taken: Drink plenty of water to help excrete metabolic waste and promote the recovery of digestive function. Gradually increase fiber intake to relieve possible constipation problems. While gradually increasing physical activity, you can do light aerobic exercise, such as walking, to help restore physical strength and improve cardiopulmonary function. At the same time, closely observe the wound, keep the wound clean and dry, and if there is any abnormality, contact a doctor in time for professional advice. During the recovery process, regular check-ups cannot be ignored. Through regular physical examinations, such as blood tests and imaging reviews, doctors can better understand the physical condition after surgery and adjust subsequent treatment plans in a timely manner.

In order to recover as quickly as possible and maintain a good quality of life, self-care must be strengthened in daily life. Patients should pay attention to a reasonable diet and gradually resume normal eating habits. At the same time, they should maintain appropriate physical activities to improve immunity and the body's self-healing ability. In terms of emotions and psychology, physical and mental adjustments after surgery are equally important. You can relieve stress through deep breathing, meditation, etc., or communicate more with family and friends to gain support and understanding. During the long recovery process, maintaining a positive attitude and firm beliefs will help overcome physical and psychological challenges and make the recovery journey smoother. If you experience severe discomfort or suspected complications after surgery, you should seek medical attention in time to ensure the best recovery effect and long-term health.
