Hi Angierivas1 - I understand that pelvic washing is usually done during a hysterectomy when uterine cancer is diagnosed. They flush the pelvic area with saline to check the fluid for cancer cells. If it came back positive, cancer cells were found.

Thank you for responding. I too was diagnosed with endometrial cancer stage 1. And had a hysterectomy but my surgeon never suggested a pelvic washing. I’m having my 3-month follow up next week 🙏🏼
It’s been a slow and difficult healing but I’m hopeful. Cancer runs in my immediate family 😔
