Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had a hysteroscopic polypectomy one week back. I have very mild bleeding but am experiencing leg and thigh weakness, along with fatigue. How should I manage this? My biopsy reports are normal.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Uterine polyps and certain types of uterine fibroids can be treated with hysteroscopic polypectomy and myomectomy. A hysteroscopic polypectomy or myomectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that removes growths from within the uterine cavity through the vagina. The procedure is often performed for women struggling with fertility, as it provides a relatively quick way to address uterine growths that could affect a woman’s ability to become pregnant.
Conditions treated with hysteroscopic polypectomy and myomectomy:
Uterine polyps: Polyps grow in the endometrium, the lining inside the uterus, and are therefore also called endometrial polyps. They may grow on a thin stalk or a broad base and protrude into the uterine cavity. Their size can range from very small to as large as a golf ball or more.
Uterine fibroids: Also known as leiomyomas, fibroids can range from very small to as large as a grapefruit. They may develop in several areas of the uterus, including within the muscular wall and on the outer surface. However, only fibroids that extend into the uterine cavity (submucosal and intracavitary fibroids) can be treated with hysteroscopic myomectomy.
These non-cancerous growths can cause several symptoms, including heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure, and they may even affect fertility.
Management:
Tablet Caricef (Cefixime) 400 mg – one tablet in the morning and one in the evening for five days.
Tablet Tranexamic Acid 500 mg – one tablet in the morning and one in the evening for five days.
Tablet Naproxen 500 mg – one tablet in the morning and one in the evening for four days.
Tablet Calup-D (calcium carbonate) – one tablet every night for two months.
Tablet Cholecalciferol 200,000 IU – one tablet once a week for about five months.
All these medicines should be taken only after consulting the specialist doctor.
I hope this has helped you.

Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your response.
Are these leg cramps and fatigue common post this procedure?
Hello,Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I understand your concerns. Symptoms such as leg cramps, fatigue, body aches, and back pain due to hysteroscopy polypectomy are common after surgery, most often due to immobility. It is important to walk for about 15 minutes every hour. The more active you stay, the faster these symptoms improve. Lying in bed for long periods can make them worse, so try to remain as active as possible.
I hope this has helped you.
Please feel free to reach out to me again if you have further queries.
Thank you.
