Patient's question:
Dr. Yan, my mother is Liu Xiangmei, diagnosed with endometrial cancer. The lymph nodes were not cleared. She had internal radiotherapy at your clinic last year, totaling six sessions. At the time, she didn't feel anything, but now she feels a heavy sensation in her abdomen, similar to the feeling of giving birth. Is this a reaction from the radiotherapy? Should she go to the hospital for a check-up? What precautions should she take? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
