If you find the wound is red and swollen, or has nodules, pain, or fever some time after surgery, you should see a doctor promptly and return for a follow-up visit 1 and 3 months after surgery.
5. Intermittent dull pain in the lower abdomen is normal.
About 10 days after the operation, paroxysmal dull pain in the left lower abdomen will occur. This is usually caused by traction during the operation. No treatment is required and the dull pain will disappear naturally in about a month.
6. Hardened scars from surgical incisions do not require special treatment.
The surgical incision scar will become hard about 20 days after the operation. This is caused by the hyperplasia and fibrosis of the suture knots and local tendon fat tissue. No special treatment is required and it will generally soften automatically after 2 to 3 months.
7. Pay attention to drug rehabilitation treatment . Postoperative drug treatment is a key part of postoperative rehabilitation treatment for endometrial cancer. Although surgical treatment of endometrial cancer can quickly remove the tumor, it is difficult to completely eliminate cancer cells that are free in the blood and other organs or tissues. Therefore, rehabilitation treatment is required after endometrial cancer surgery. Oral medication is used to remove residual cancer cells after surgery, so as to completely eliminate cancer cells, increase the body's resistance, consolidate the postoperative treatment effect, and prevent recurrence.
