Preparing for Surgery
Follow our pre-operative instructions carefully, including what to eat and drink before surgery and which medications to avoid. We recommend a residue free diet for a week prior to surgery
- Preferably avoid any solid food one day before surgery
- Arrange for transportation to and from the surgical centre in advance, as you may not be able to drive yourself home.
- Prepare for a hospital stay or recovery at home, including arranging for help with childcare, household chores, and other responsibilities.
Once you reach the hospital , our staff will take it over from there
Post-operative Instructions
- We will provide detailed instructions on how to care of your symptoms if any and our team will be in constant follow-up for the next week to check your bloodwork until you are fit for work or your flight back home.
- You will likely need to avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activity, and sexual activity for 2-3 weeks after surgery.
- Follow-up appoints with Dr. Surakshith Battina M.D will be scheduled to monitor your recovery and address any concerns or complications that arise
Living with endometriosis
- Endometriosis can be a very difficult condition to deal with, both physically and emotionally.
- It’s very important to seek help early and discuss any period related symptoms because
- having painful periods are not normal. Seeking help, receiving a diagnosis and treatment early improves your quality of life and reduces the likelihood of the condition getting worse.
- As well as support from your doctor, you may find it helpful to contact any support group
Support Resources
- Some popular endometriosis support groups include the Endometriosis Association and the Endometriosis Foundation of America.
- Books such as The Doctor Will See You Now by Tamer Seckin and The Endometriosis Health and Diet Program by Andrew S. Cook can also provide valuable information and advice on living with endometriosi
Self-Care Practices
- Practicing self-care can help manage symptoms and promote healing after surgery. Some self-care practices to consider include:
- Gentle exercise such as yoga or walking
- Mind-body techniques such as meditation or deep breathing
- Healthy eating habits that focus on whole, nutritious foods
- Relaxation techniques such as massage or aromatherapy
Remember, every patient’s recovery will be different, so it’s important to follow your surgeon’s instructions and listen to your body as you recover. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us or any support network if you have any questions or concerns.
