Nursing Care of a Postoperative Ovarian Cancer Patient with Bilateral Lower Limb Lymphedema Treated by Herbal Ointment Massage Combined with Medicinal Hot Compress
This article summarizes the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing experience for a postoperative ovarian cancer patient with bilateral lower limb lymphedema. The patient developed swelling in the lower limbs and inguinal lymph nodes after surgery. Based on TCM syndrome differentiation and holistic nursing principles, interventions included herbal ointment massage (Gao Mo) and medicinal hot compress (Re Yan Bao), complemented by lifestyle guidance, dietary therapy, and emotional regulation. The results demonstrated significant alleviation of edema, enhanced postoperative recovery, and improved quality of life.
