Patient's question:
Laparoscopic endometriosis resection, small intestinal adhesion release, third day after surgery, feeling discomfort in the chest, foreign body sensation in the throat, slight lower back pain, these symptoms reappear intermittently. What should I do? What medication should I take? What first aid should I perform?Doctor's answer:
Long-term use of contraceptive medication suppresses ovulation, which can lead to endometrial atrophy and reduced menstrual flow. During menstruation, it is important to maintain a calm mood and avoid strenuous exercise. If severe abdominal pain occurs, bed rest should be taken. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm during and after menstruation, especially below the waist. A hot water bag can be used for warmth. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene and avoid sexual activity during menstruation or immediately after it has ended. Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia. Avoid tub baths or swimming during menstruation. Change menstrual pads and underwear frequently. Clean the external genitalia with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution or warm water 1-2 times daily to prevent infection.3. Hormone therapy has a long course, so active cooperation with treatment is required. If drug therapy is ineffective and the patient experiences chronic abdominal pain, surgical options may be considered based on age and fertility requirements. These include conservative surgeries that preserve fertility, semi-conservative surgeries that preserve ovarian function, and radical surgeries.
