Data will be obtained by the researcher by faceto-face interviews with women. In addition, women in the intervention group will receive acupressure once on postoperative days 0 and 1. Acupressure points related to gynecological surgery (large intestine (LI4), stomach (ST36) and spleen (SP6)) will be applied for a total of 12 minutes with 2 minutes of pressure on each point. Women in the control group will continue their routine care. Data will be evaluated with SPSS-26 package.
