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 an infected wound that has not yet healed. It is recommended to pay attention to proper sterilization and use alcohol and povidone-iodine for sterilization. Take some anti-inflammatory medication orally for a few days. It is better to rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods. First, wait and see if it improves. If it doesn't, you may need to go to the hospital for a check-up. If there is an infection, you will need intravenous antibiotic treatment. Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery.
