Patient's question:
During this time, I've had severe abdominal pain, sometimes to the point where I can't straighten up. Today, my husband took me to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it's a uterine fibroid that requires surgery. But after I had a complete hysterectomy for the uterine fibroid, there was vaginal discharge. Is it normal to have vaginal discharge after a complete removal of the uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
After the removal of uterine fibroids, there may be some interference with the urinary system, leading to symptoms such as incontinence. It is essential to pay attention to personal hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and avoid uterine infections. Rest well, avoid overexertion, and consume a variety of nutritious foods, especially those that replenish qi and blood, such as jujubes, goji berries, longans, and donkey-hide gelatin. These can promote your body's full recovery. Lastly, wish you a speedy recovery.
