Patient's question:
I recently had a uterine fibroid surgery and have been experiencing lower abdominal pain for over a month. What are the reasons for abdominal pain after uterine fibroid surgery?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent tumors. They are the most common benign tumor in female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. Postoperative wound healing is usually not due to surgical pain itself; however, if pelvic adhesions occur after surgery and are pushed by movement, it may cause abdominal pain, lower back pain, and other symptoms, which are common after surgery. The abdominal pain may also be caused by pelvic congestion before menstruation or intestinal cramps. Postoperative abdominal pain may also be caused by a cold or postoperative infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a B ultrasound to check for pelvic adhesion inflammation. It is advised to avoid abdominal exposure, especially to prevent infection, and not to eat extremely cold, irritating foods.
