What should I do if I have a fever after uterine prolapse surgery?

Patient's question:

After the uterine prolapse surgery, I have had low-grade fever every afternoon for a week. The doctor has diagnosed an pelvic abscess. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you. According to your description, the cause is likely a postoperative infection leading to an abscess, mostly caused by Gram-negative bacteria. I suggest you revisit the gynecology department of your hospital to use drugs sensitive to this bacterium for treatment. If the abscess is large, it can be considered to pierce and drain the pus. I hope my explanation helps you. The daily treatment for patients with uterine prolapse is mainly symptomatic treatment. The patient can take some oral medications, supplemented by vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods. I hope uterine prolapse patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
