Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 36 years old this year. I just had a uterine fibroid removal surgery last week, but I have been feeling a heavy and bloated abdomen since the operation. At first, I thought it was a normal postoperative reaction, but it has been several days now. Hello doctor, what should I do about the heavy and bloated abdomen after uterine fibroid removal surgery?Doctor's answer:
In this current situation, I don't know how your bowel movements are going? Are you able to pass gas? If you have, you might consider this, or if you haven't fully recovered, it's best to wait and see. If your bowel movements are normal and you can pass gas, there shouldn't be a major issue. You can try walking more often and taking regular walks to see how things are progressing. Alternatively, you could go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the condition of your pelvic recovery.
