What are the common complications after cervical cancer surgery

The cervix is ​​an indispensable part of the female reproductive organs. If there is cancer in the cervix, it will cause great harm to women both physically and mentally. For patients with early cervical cancer, surgical treatment is the main and most effective treatment. However, due to the wide range of surgery, large wound surface and touching many organs such as the pelvic cavity, it is also easy to cause a series of postoperative complications. So, what are the complications after cervical cancer surgery?

1. Patients who have undergone hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection during the treatment of cervical cancer are prone to poor lymphatic circulation and the formation of lymph cysts after the operation, which will affect the patient's lower abdominal discomfort, lower limb edema, waist and leg pain and other symptoms. Experts recommend that patients be massaged after surgery and their lower limbs should be moved more to promote lymph return.

2. Urinary retention is more likely to occur after cervical cancer surgery. Patients with this disease need to take timely measures to avoid it from developing into a stubborn condition. Urinary retention needs to avoid infection. The catheter should be changed at least once a week and attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the perineum. Patients need to drink plenty of water to open the catheter to empty it.

3. Long-term surgical treatment of cervical cancer can also cause obstruction of the lower limb veins, trauma to the venous walls and other factors. For this complication, patients should be encouraged to move their lower limbs more according to their own conditions to avoid the formation of thrombotic diseases.

4. During the treatment of cervical cancer, if the bleeding is not stopped thoroughly during the operation, secondary infection of systemic cell tissues may occur within one week after the operation.
