What is the reason for swollen feet after chemotherapy for endometrial cancer

Endometrial cancer is a highly malignant disease. If it is in the early stages, postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy can improve the survival rate. If it is in the middle or late stages, it is best to have radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery, which can significantly reduce the recurrence rate. So her current general discomfort may be due to a recurrence or poor postoperative recovery.

If conditions permit, you can choose additional radiotherapy and chemotherapy to improve the survival rate. Now you need to examine the vaginal stump and ultrasound, pelvic MRI, etc. to determine whether there is a recurrence. If necessary, you need to check chest X-rays to see if there is metastasis.

If one side of the lower limb is swollen after surgery, you should consider whether there is deep vein thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis generally manifests as blood reflux disorder in the lower limbs. If the lower limb edema is confirmed to be deep vein thrombosis, the situation is more serious.

It is recommended to do a color Doppler ultrasound of the lower limb veins to clarify the situation. At present, the affected limb should be elevated to speed up blood return. Before a clear diagnosis is made, do not massage or knock the limb to prevent the blood clot from falling off and causing pulmonary embolism.
