Postoperative complications of uterine myomectomy

What are the complications of uterine fibroid removal? Uterine fibroids are a relatively common gynecological disease. Patients with this disease will have heavy menstrual flow and abdominal lumps. Severe conditions will affect the patient's physical and mental health. There are many treatments for this disease, but the key is surgical removal, which is more common and more effective. However, some complications may occur after surgery. Common complications are as follows:

1. Urinary incontinence: It is a common complication after uterine fibroid removal. This is mainly because the support function of the pelvic floor will be weakened after uterine fibroid removal, and the surgery will also damage the pelvic autonomic nerves, resulting in pelvic autonomic nerve sensation loss. The patient cannot control urination intentionally, thus causing urinary incontinence. Some patients will also cause gastrointestinal nerve dysfunction, resulting in abnormal bowel movements, constipation or fecal incontinence.

2. Unrelieved pain: It is a serious complication after uterine fibroid removal surgery. The pain levels of patients vary. Many patients experience permanent pain, and the pain is relatively intense. The pain is generally located from the waist, through the buttocks to the back of the knee joint and then spreads downward and outward. This usually affects the patient's daily life and makes it difficult for the patient to walk.

3. Psychological barriers: After uterine fibroid removal surgery, patients do not have relevant knowledge about the disease, which leads to some incorrect people. Some patients will worry too much, which may seriously affect the sexual life and harmony of the couple, affect work, etc. Over time, it will cause mental instability, and may cause mental symptoms such as depression and anxiety.

4. Sexual life problems: After uterine fibroid removal surgery, some patients will experience bleeding during sexual intercourse and pain during sexual intercourse, which has a great impact on patients and therefore they cannot have a harmonious married life.
