What is the reason for constipation after surgery for well-differentiated endometrial cancer?

Patient's question:

My mother has been experiencing similar symptoms to menstruation for the past year, but it has almost persisted without stopping. This year, during the first month of the lunar calendar, she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer at the hospital. She then underwent a radical hysterectomy. After the surgery, she didn't experience constipation again for a week while hospitalized. But at home, she often feels constipated. Besides that, she avoids walking too fast because it feels like everything inside is moving when she does. Is this normal? Also, she noticed that a lymph node has reappeared as a fork, with high mitotic activity. How likely is it to heal on its own? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Middle-aged female after endometrial cancer surgery. Based on the purchased medical history, the current condition cannot yet confirm the severity of the disease. Further re-examination is needed to determine tumor staging and then select the next treatment plan. Endometrial cancer is a malignant tumor, and it cannot be cured at present. There is no need to worry about this matter. Additionally, during the treatment of endometrial cancer patients, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay attention to rest and can engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries.
