Patient's question:
Treatment history and effectiveness of uterine fibroid surgery: A red, sausage-like streak of tissue has formed at the incision site after the uterine fibroid surgery. There is still some pain at the incision, and it has been a year and a half. What kind of help is needed: Looking for any methods to check, and how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Usually, the laparoscopic incisions are about 1 cm long at the navel, with two 0.5 cm incisions on each side of the lower abdomen. For the care of these wounds, it is important to maintain the wound clean and dry. After the wound has completely healed (approximately 10 days), you may shower or get the wound wet. It is crucial that, as laparoscopic patients have very short hospital stays, they must pay daily attention to whether the wound shows signs of redness, swelling, heat, or pain to prevent reinfection or inflammation. However, post-laparoscopic surgery inflammation of the wound is quite rare. At the same time, it is recommended to take oral ginseng saponins Rh2 (Humedix) and other Chinese herbal medicines specifically designed for postoperative adverse reactions, which may produce unexpected effects.
