Here are suggestions from the National Women's Health Resource Center on what to do before your operation:
- Maintain a healthy, balanced diet. Be sure to get enough vitamin C, which will help your body heal.
- Quit smoking and avoid alcohol.
- Get regular exercise.
- Don't use blood-thinning medications, including aspirin, for one week before surgery. If you have a need to take such medications, discuss this with your doctor.
- Keep a positive attitude.
- Talk to your doctor about how to control post-surgical pain.
- Try deep breathing techniques and relaxation exercises.
