Patient's question:
Had a uterine fibroid surgery. 15 days have passed, and the incision still hurts when stretched. The vaginal bleeding is clotty. The abdomen is also peeling. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, this could be a case of an infected wound that has not yet begun to heal. Recommendations: It is recommended to pay attention to proper sterilization, using alcohol and povidone-iodine for sterilization, taking anti-inflammatory medication orally for a few days, and it is best to rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods. First, wait and see how things develop. If there is no improvement, it is still necessary to visit a hospital for examination. If there is an infection, intravenous antibiotics will be required.For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to focus on self-care. During treatment, pay attention to hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the private area. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
