Symptoms of infection after hysteroscopy

The infection after laparoscopic surgery is specifically manifested as symptoms of endometritis, which can mainly manifest as lower abdominal pain, excessive secretions with a foul odor, and sometimes fever and other symptoms. So, what are the symptoms of infection after hysteroscopic surgery? Let's have a simple understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

Postoperative infection symptoms

The chance of infection during hysteroscopy is relatively small because there is no laparotomy and there is no external exposure during the surgery. In addition, the surgery in a regular hospital follows the principle of aseptic operation and all equipment is disinfected before use, so the chance of infection is relatively small. However, if the operation time is relatively long and the patient’s immunity is low, varying degrees of infection may occur. If infection occurs, the general manifestation is endometritis. The clinical symptoms of endometritis are lower abdominal pain, irregular vaginal bleeding, and some people may also have fever. In this case, antibiotics can be used in time and treatment can be timely, and the impact is not very large. If it is not treated promptly and cannot be effectively controlled, other secondary diseases such as uterine myositis, bilateral salpingo-oophoritis, or pelvic inflammatory disease may occur. Therefore, once postoperative infection occurs, it must be controlled promptly.

Common problems after laparoscopic surgery

1. Make sure you take breaks

After laparoscopic surgery, many patients have a mild feeling of abdominal heaviness, but it usually gets better the next day. But at this time, it does not mean that the body has recovered, but just needs to ensure rest. Especially for those who are usually weak, they must pay attention to rest and are not suitable for doing strenuous work.

2. Pay attention to cleaning

After laparoscopic surgery, women must pay attention to keeping their private parts clean. When the internal wounds of the human body have not healed completely, sexual intercourse and swimming must be strictly prohibited. If there is bleeding after laparoscopic surgery, this is normal. But if the bleeding does not stop, you must seek medical treatment immediately.

3. Postoperative examination

Many patients who have undergone laparoscopic surgery have recovered well during the treatment period and think that they have recovered quickly and do not need postoperative examination. In fact, this idea is wrong. Although laparoscopic surgery has a strong therapeutic effect on the cervix, the wound caused by it is not very easy to heal, so regular post-operative examinations are still necessary.

4. Eat a light diet

Patients with cervical erosion must pay attention to a light diet after laparoscopic surgery. Do not use too much spicy and irritating food during the recovery period of surgery to avoid causing stress to the body and slowing down wound healing. In daily life, it is best for patients to eat some vegetables and fruits containing protein and vitamins to promote wound healing. Common problems after laparoscopic surgery

5. Contraceptive methods

After hysteroscopy, patients must use reasonable contraceptive methods to reduce the probability of abortion. This can reduce the chance of incision and bacterial infection after laparoscopic surgery. It is best for patients to avoid sexual intercourse for 3-5 months after surgery to allow the wound to heal better.
