刚好看到Dr Chin的分享,
今天有位妇女腿肿,脸肿她说
她每个月吃7/8千的保健品😱~
#来看看一下吧,不是每个人适合,
有问题,请看合格医生,无论中医还是西医
之前转发了一位妇产科医生提醒大众慎选保健品的贴文。
会转发的原因其实是因为当天我的一位病人在术后一个多星期msg我说她有出血的状况。一般来说,在去除子宫后排出血块是正常的,而且她在术后一星期做ultrasound时一切都恢复得很好,没有任何异状。所以我就让病人先观察看看,如果情况变严重再联络我。那时是下午3-4点。
傍晚7点,我又收到她的msg,一开头就是:医生。。。
立刻sense到情况不妙。果然病人持续排出血块,开始头晕。立刻打电话让她到医院急诊部。她声音听起来不是很ok,独自在家的她也说没办法自行下楼,还好父亲已经赶往她的住处。跟她要了地址,准备必要时让救护车去支援,然后我就赶去医院standby等她。
左思右想,想不通。手术非常顺利,一般就算有并发症也不会在这个时间点才发生,明明才scan过都好好的。
突然想到过往的经验💡💡💡问了她有没有在吃什么保健品,果不其然。。。
病人最后被家人送到医院,让她立刻停了那个保健品。她在医院观察两天后也好好地回家了。
故事就这样结束了吗?没有!这个星期又一单!
这次是术后三个星期,也明明恢复得好好的了,又莫名大出血。一问之下也是在服用同款so called可以帮助伤口修复的保健品。
我的病人们啊,手术前两个星期直到手术后,在得到我同意以前,拜托远离所有含有人参、银杏、冬虫草、高EPA含量的保健品。妳们吃保健品没有错,它们也没有不好,只是真的不适合在手术前后服用,那个稀血+促进血液循环的效果在手术期间往往弊大于利。
我要嘛在手术台上止不住血,再不然病人术后无端端大出血,哎哟喂。。。
当然不是所有人都对这些成分有同等反应,但,真的没有必要拿这个风险。
我会有点生气因为我付出很多心思在做好手术这个事情上,真心希望大家都可以在最短的时间好好恢复过来。结果到最后因为一些有的没的让状况恶化,真的很gek sim啊😬😬😬
术后要恢复好一点,可以多摄取高蛋白质的原型食物、多休息、多喝水、保持饮食均衡。我不反对大家服用保健品,但在对的时候吃对的东西很重要‼️不确定是什么成分的,也请远离❗️
请不要问我那是什么产品(听说会收律师信🤐🤐🤐)。我没有要针对某品牌或特定产品,只是就成分的功效给出建议。
English translation by my lovely patient… thank you 😊
Previously, I shared a post from an obstetrician-gynecologist who reminded the public to be careful in selecting health supplements.
The reason I shared the post was because my patient messaged me that day, more than a week after the surgery. She was experiencing bleeding. Under normal circumstances, passing blood clots is normal after hysterectomy (operation to remove uterus). She had a follow-up ultrasound scan one week after the surgery, which showed good recovery without abnormalities. So I advised her to monitor closely and keep me posted if bleeding worsened. It was around 3-4pm.
At 7pm, I received message from her again and immediately sensed something wrong. She continued to pass blood clots and started to feel dizzy. I called her immediately to go to the emergency department. She did not sound good. She was alone at home and could not walk down the stairs on her own. Fortunately, her dad was on the way to her place. I asked for her address, prepared to call for an ambulance in case assistance was needed, and then rushed to the hospital to standby and wait for her.
I was baffled. Operation went pretty well. Even if there were complications, they would not usually happen at this time. Furthermore, she just had an ultrasound scan and everything looked fine.
Suddenly, I recalled the past experience 💡💡💡I asked if she consumed any health supplement. As expected, she did.
Patient was eventually taken to the hospital by her family and stopped consuming the health supplement. She was discharged after two days monitoring.
Was that the the end of the story? No, similar incident happened again this week. Three weeks after the surgery, when patient seemed to be recovering well, she bled heavily out of sudden. It turned out that the patient also consumed the same supplement that claimed to help with recovery.
To all my lovely patients, from two weeks before the operation until operation was done, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, please refrain from consuming supplements that contain ginseng, ginko, cordyceps and supplements that are high in EPA. There is nothing wrong with taking supplements, supplements are not bad. However, it is not suitable to consume before and after operation. The blood thinning and blood circulating effects from supplements do more harm than good during surgical period.
Either I could not stop the bleeding during operation or patient bled excessively for no apparent reason after operation. Of course, not everyone has the same reaction to these ingredients but it is really not worth taking the risk.
It was disappointing to see this happen. I put a lot of effort into every surgery I perform because I genuinely hope that all my patients could recover in the shortest possible time. In the end, condition worsened due to unforeseen circumstances when it could have been avoided.
To recover well from surgery, please consume unprocessed food with high protein, rest well, hydrate well and maintain a balanced diet. I do not oppose the idea of taking supplements but consuming at the right time is extremely important‼️ Please also avoid supplements with unknown/unidentified ingredients❗️
Please do not ask about the supplement (I might be sued 🤐🤐🤐). I am not going against any brand or product. My suggestion is purely based on the effect of ingredients.
