Stockings to prevent pulmonary embolism
Few months ago, I was hospitalized for a gynecologic surgery. The gynecologist Dr Eugene removed some cysts on the ovary and had done a biopsy on a hard cell found on the left ovary. The lab investigation on the biopsy cast doubt of malignancy. Dr Eugene followed up by scheduling me for a series of tests. Though the episode turned out to be a cancer scare, it’s good that the doubt is cleared!
The gynecologist Dr Eugene is a very careful and dedicated doctor. He came to checked on me right after the surgery. The next morning, he also came to ensure there is no blood clot, water detention and other complications. The nurses encouraged me to wear the TED Stockings during recovery to avoid the danger of pulmonary embolism. They said pulmonary embolism can be significantly reduced through the use of this stockings.
Though fully recovered now and don’t wear this specially made stockings anymore, I still wear the normal stocking in the house as the floor feel so cold when you don’t after being used to wear stockings. :-)
