Title:

Side Effect after uterine cancer treatment

Description:

After uterine cancer treatment, some people may experience side effects. One common side effect is fatigue, which can make you feel very tired and lacking in energy. This tiredness can last for a while, but it usually improves over time. It's important to rest when you need to and to talk to your doctor if your fatigue is severe or long-lasting. Other possible side effects of uterine cancer treatment include changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation, as well as bladder problems like needing to pee more often or feeling like you can't empty your bladder completely. These side effects can be managed with medication or lifestyle changes, so it's important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare team. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

contribute to fatigue, especially as the sessions
progress. Give yourself the rest you need during
this time.

accessories.
