What to do if the incision does not heal after colon cancer surgery

What should I do if the incision does not heal after colon cancer surgery?

After surgery, the incision generally refers to the postoperative wound. The non-healing of wounds after colorectal cancer surgery may be caused by short postoperative time, malnutrition, bacterial infection, etc., which can be improved through close observation, enhanced nutrition, oral medication, etc.

1. The postoperative time is too short: Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive system and can be treated by surgery. If the postoperative time is relatively short, the wound may not heal completely. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. Usually, you can observe the changes in the wound and maintain good living habits. The wound will heal after a period of time.

2. Malnutrition: If the patient does not get enough nutrition, it will affect the normal function of the skin and the normal growth of the wound. Usually, you can eat more nutritious foods, such as lean meat, eggs, cucumbers, pears, tomatoes, etc., which can make the body more nourished and have a certain effect on wound healing.

3. Bacterial infection: If you do not pay attention to wound care after surgery, external bacteria may enter the wound, which can easily lead to wound infection. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take drugs such as roxithromycin dispersible tablets, cefradine capsules, and amoxicillin capsules to inhibit bacterial reproduction.

In addition to the above reasons, diabetes can also be considered. Patients can also take acarbose tablets, metformin hydrochloride tablets, glimepiride tablets and other drugs under the guidance of doctors. If the symptoms are severe, you need to see a doctor in time.
