What to do if the incision hurts after surgery

Surgery is a treatment method that is only performed when major surgery is required, and surgery involves certain risks. These risks include pain after the operation, for example, incision pain. This is actually a relatively normal situation, because wounds on our bodies will cause pain, and this can be solved in some ways. So what should I do if the incision hurts after surgery?

Physical analgesia: Using cold or heat therapy can relieve local pain, such as using hot water bottles, hot water baths, local cold compresses, etc.

If the surgical wound pain is caused by wound inflammation, it is necessary to do a good job of anti-inflammatory work on the wound area. Oral anti-inflammatory antibiotics can be taken for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If the wound inflammation is severe and does not heal for a long time, Yu¸'s Wound Healing Recipe can be used for treatment. It can reduce inflammation and promote rapid wound healing.

Through acupuncture, massage and other methods, blood circulation, blood stasis, and meridians can be unblocked, which has a good analgesic effect.

Note: During the treatment, you should also pay attention to good psychological conditioning. You can distract the patient's attention from the pain by participating in activities of interest, reading newspapers, listening to music, talking with family members, deep breathing, relaxing massage, etc. to relieve the pain; meet the patient's needs for comfort as much as possible, such as helping to change body positions and reduce pressure; do a good job of cleaning and hygiene care; keep the indoor environment comfortable, etc.

The pain from the incision can be divided into infectious pain and non-infectious pain. Normal postoperative pain will generally gradually ease within 1-2 days after the operation. Everyone has different tolerance to pain. If the pain is severe after surgery, you can use an analgesic pump and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics for timely symptomatic treatment. If the pain is caused by infection, the wound will become red, swollen, hot and painful, and may even have secretions or pus. The wound needs to be cleaned and symptomatic anti-infection treatment should be given orally or intravenously. Please combine the specific medication with clinical practice and follow the doctor's face-to-face consultation guidance.

This is caused by muscle repositioning and regeneration after surgery: because the muscle tissue cut and severed during surgery forms a fault plane, and because they cannot grow in a connected manner, they each form a muscle group, which will involve the surrounding muscle tissue and cause various feelings such as hardness, tightness, itching, and pain. Regular massage and hot compress will relieve the symptoms if necessary.
