Patient's question:
20 days ago I had an ectopic pregnancy surgery. A week later, I felt my legs were cold, but my family members touched my legs and said they weren't cold. I still felt my legs were cold and had to use a hot water bag on my legs every night to fall asleep. During the day, I didn't feel anything.Previous Treatment and Effects:
I rested after the surgery and had my stitches removed. I also avoided contact with cold water.
What tests should I undergo?
Doctor's answer:
This friend, based on the situation you described, may be experiencing a manifestation of physical qi damage caused by surgery. In cases of insufficient kidney yang, there may be a loss of warmth regulation, leading to coldness in the legs and feet.Recommendation: For this condition, measures to warm the yang and nourish the kidneys can be adopted for (regulating and nurturing). It is recommended to consult the Traditional Chinese Medicine department for a diagnosis based on the appearance of the tongue and pulse. After confirmation, symptomatic medication should be administered for treatment.
For severe cases of ectopic pregnancy, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's recommendations for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only.
It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
