Patient's question:
Five years ago, I had a complete hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Now, it has progressed to pelvic cancer. The examination revealed it was already in the late stage, with metastasis, so surgery was no longer an option. Chemotherapy is not possible, and I can only undergo radiation therapy. I indirectly feel arm pain. Why would arm pain occur after pelvic cancer surgery?Doctor's answer:
Postoperative pain from pelvic cancer is a non-frequent complication after pelvic cancer surgery. In clinical practice, pelvic cancer pain relief medications include Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine often achieves better short-term effects but has significant side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine has received unanimous praise from patients in clinical practice. It effectively treats pelvic cancer pain, addresses the root cause, and fundamentally improves patients' quality of life. Therefore, postoperative pelvic cancer pain can be alleviated using traditional Chinese medicine.
