What causes abdominal bloating after uterine fibroid surgery?

Patient's question:

I had an abdominal surgery for uterine fibroids and it has been a week. Why has my stomach become so big and bloated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering it may be uterine fibroids, if the size is not large, there is no need to worry as it generally has no significant impact on the body. Regular follow-up is recommended. If the size exceeds 5 cm or if there are obvious symptoms such as increased or irregular menstrual flow, surgical removal can be considered, and minimally invasive treatment can be used, allowing for faster recovery. The occurrence of gynecological tumors not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up, identify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
