What to do if the wound is red and swollen after surgery

Surgery is the most direct way to treat human diseases. If benign or malignant tumors grow in the human body, they can be removed through surgery. Or when people suffer from internal diseases such as fractures due to various reasons, surgery is needed to solve the problem. As long as surgery is performed, there will be wounds. Wound infection is likely to cause redness and swelling. Let’s take a look at what to do if the wound is red and swollen after surgery.

After canthoplasty surgery, local redness and inflammation will occur. One is caused by bacterial infection, and the other is the body's response to the external environment. If the redness and pain last for a long time, or even there is exudation, we should consider whether it is caused by infection of the incision; if there is local redness and pus and blood, we should consider whether it is caused by excessive proliferation of scars. It is recommended that patients use local anti-scar drugs for treatment.

When our skin becomes red and swollen due to injury, don't be afraid. You should know that this red and swollen area is actually a fierce battlefield - the human body's white blood cells are fighting fiercely with germs. When germs or other harmful substances are eliminated by white blood cells, the redness and swelling of the skin will gradually disappear.

Of course, there are also wounds that are severely inflamed, red and swollen, accompanied by pus discharge. For wounds of this type, most of the stitches need to be removed to drain the pus to avoid pus accumulation and tissue necrosis. After drainage, pay attention to iodine disinfection and apply antibiotics in a targeted manner. Some long-term inflamed, red and swollen wounds may experience tissue necrosis. Such wounds should be cleaned in time, and the dressings should be changed with products such as wound-closing prescriptions that promote rapid healing of the wound surface, and good care should be done.

In short, inflammation and swelling of the wound after surgery must be handled and treated in a targeted manner. Don't panic. Choosing the right method can accelerate wound healing. During the healing process, you should also pay attention to the care of the wound surface, prevent foreign objects from invading the wound, change the wound dressing, and maintain a good and positive attitude. Only by taking these multiple measures can the wound heal soon.
