What are the reasons for lower abdominal pain one month after a total hysterectomy?

Patient's question:

Test, carefully check the results: Normal. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Hysterectomy for uterine fibroids, normal.

Doctor's answer:

During surgery, to ensure thorough examination of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the posterior aspect of the uterus or provide sufficient space for the procedure, a uterine tamponade is typically placed through the vagina to reposition the uterus. As a result, there may be a minimal amount of vaginal bleeding postoperatively. It is important to note that engaging in sexual activity or lifting heavy objects within eight weeks may lead to poor wound healing and skin breakdown at the incision site. It is advisable to minimize heavy lifting for the patient. Postoperatively, it is recommended to complement oral ingestion of ginsenosides to slow down wound scarring, reduce inflammation, and provide analgesia. Ginsenosides can also enhance the immune system and stabilize the patient's overall condition.
