Complications after cervical cancer surgery and their treatment methods

Patients with cervical cancer may experience some postoperative complications after surgery, including infection and bleeding.

3. Urinary retention: It is mainly caused by the influence of the nerve reflex between the bladder and the rectum. It can be promoted by inserting a catheter into the urethra for drainage. If necessary, physical therapy such as suprapubic cystocentesis or perineal prostate massage and acupuncture point stimulation can be used to help recovery.
