Postoperative inguinal lymphatic swelling of cervical cancer may be caused by metastasis of cervical cancer, lymphadenitis, lymph node tuberculosis, etc., which need to be treated with medication, radiotherapy and surgery. It is recommended to consult doctor in time to find out the cause and treat under doctor’s guidance.
1. Metastasis of cervical cancer: Cancer cells metastasize through lymphatic transfer after cervical cancer surgery, which will lead to swelling of inguinal lymph nodes. Patients need to use chemotherapeutic drugs under doctor’s instruction. In addition, patients can be treated by radioactive irradiation to kill cancer cells.
2. Lymphadenitis: lymphadenitis in groin after cervical cancer surgery will also lead to swollen lymph nodes. For lymphadenitis caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics such as cefixime and roxithromycin can be used as prescribed by doctor.
If the lymphadenitis is caused by a viral infection, antiviral medications such as ganciclovir and valacyclovir are prescribed. If the inguinal lymphadenitis forms an abscess, it is necessary to take puncture drainage or incision and drainage treatment.
3. Lymph node tuberculosis: if lymph node tuberculosis occurs in groin area after cervical cancer surgery, patients will also show swollen lymph nodes. For patients with lymph node tuberculosis, they can use anti-tuberculosis drugs such as isoniazid and pyrazinamide as prescribed by doctor. For lymph node tuberculosis of nodular type or abscess type, lesion resection can be adopted for treatment.
It is suggested that patients with inguinal lymph node swelling after cervical cancer surgery should consult doctor in time to check the cause of the disease and take appropriate measures to treat the cause of the disease.
