What is the cause of postoperative lymphedema and generalized chills after cervical cancer surgery?

Postoperative lymphedema with generalized coldness after cervical cancer surgery may be a postoperative complication, or it may be caused by metastasis of cervical cancer. In the process of cervical cancer surgery, if there is damage to lymphatic vessels or removal of lymph nodes during surgery, resulting in poor lymphatic drainage, when lymphatic fluid gathers in the interstitial space of tissues, lymphedema may occur. And the patient may have the symptom of generalized chills when he is weak after the operation, with low immunity and poor blood circulation. If lymph node metastasis occurs after cervical cancer surgery, the cancer cells enter the lymph nodes with lymphatic fluid and invade other tissues and organs, which will also lead to edema in the lymph nodes of the corresponding areas. When metastasis occurs, further spreading of cancer cells will accelerate the destruction of body functions, making the body weak and cold all over. Therefore, when symptoms of lymphedema and generalized chills appear after cervical cancer surgery, one should go to regular hospitals in time, complete relevant examinations, clarify the cause of disease under professional doctor’s guidance and carry out targeted treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
