Patient's question:
After uterine fibroid surgery, there is pus discharge from the wound. What could be the reason? How should one do to recover well?Doctor's answer:
Hello. There is discharge from the postoperative incision, and there are two possible causes to consider: one is incision infection, and the other is incision fat liquefaction. A sample of the discharge should be taken for a routine examination and bacterial culture to determine if it is an infection. If an infection is confirmed, medication can be prescribed based on the culture results.The key is to open the incision for drainage. Regardless of whether it is an infection or liquefaction, this is the basic solution. Only with proper drainage can the wound heal properly.
For the patient, if the uterine fibroid condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered.
