Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and purpose of consultation: On November 2, 2005, my mother had a hysterectomy due to uterine fibroids. However, today is November 23, and she still feels pain at the surgical incision, as well as lower back pain (with anesthesia) and pain in the lower abdomen (vagina).1. Why do these symptoms occur?
2. Is this normal?
3. Will it affect her daily life in the future?
4. What should she pay attention to now? For example: daily routines, diet, and daily activities?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with uterine fibroids need to persist in treatment. It is important for them to maintain a cheerful mood, which will help in recovery. Medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor based on the patient's specific condition.After uterine fibroid surgery, the following precautions are recommended:
1. Keep the external genital area clean and dry. Wear loose underwear. Avoid pregnancy again. If menstrual bleeding is excessive, consume more iron-rich foods to prevent iron-deficiency anemia.
2. Avoid using cosmetics containing estrogen. This can lead to endocrine disorders and excessive stimulation of the uterus and breasts by exogenous hormones!
