What are the complications after endometrial cancer surgery? There are five points

Comprehensive care is required after surgery for endometrial cancer, because complications are prone to occur after surgery, such as infertility, ectopic dysmenorrhea, cyclical rectal irritation, irregular menstruation, sexual pain, etc. Therefore, after surgery, you must follow the doctor's specific instructions for care, and also do a good job of reexamination to ensure that abnormalities are found and treated in time.

Endometrial cancer is a disease that troubles women. Most people think that they will enter the recovery stage after surgery, which leads to negligence of patients. In addition, improper care may also cause some complications after endometrial cancer surgery. So, what are the complications after endometrial cancer surgery?
1. Infertility <br/>Infertility is a complication of endometrial cancer. About 50% of endometrial cancer patients experience infertility after surgery, and about 30-40% of patients with unexplained infertility have endometriosis, which causes infertility in endometrial cancer patients.
2. Dysmenorrhea <br/>Dysmenorrhea is also a complication of endometrial cancer. The clinical feature of endometrial cancer is progressive dysmenorrhea, which is a very common and prominent feature. It is mostly secondary, that is, endometriosis begins to occur. In the past, there was no pain during menstruation. From a certain period, dysmenorrhea began to occur, which can occur before, during and after menstruation.
3. Periodic rectal irritation <br/>Some patients also have symptoms of rectal irritation. The progressive and aggravated periodic rectal irritation symptoms are rare in other gynecological diseases and are the most valuable symptoms for diagnosing this disease. The rectum, anus, and vulva are distended, painful, and feel tenesmus, and the frequency of bowel movements increases. As the lesion gradually worsens, the symptoms become more obvious, and the symptoms disappear after menstruation.
4. Menstrual irregularities <br/>Some patients with endometrial cancer may also suffer from menstrual irregularities due to endometriosis. Patients with endometrial cancer often experience shortened menstrual cycles, increased menstrual flow, or prolonged menstrual periods, which indicates that the patient has ovarian dysfunction. Menstrual irregularities can be used as a diagnostic reference, but they are of no value in differential diagnosis.
5. Pain during sexual intercourse <br/>The last complication after endometrial cancer surgery is pain during sexual intercourse. Especially when there are ectopic endometrial nodules in the vaginal vault, nodules or adhesions in the rectal pit, or ovarian adhesions to the pelvic floor, pain during sexual intercourse can occur.
Compared with the endometrial cancer itself, the consequences of postoperative complications of endometrial cancer may be more serious. This is also a reminder to patients with endometrial cancer to pay attention to daily care after surgery to avoid the occurrence of these complications of endometrial cancer.
