Introduction
A non-healing hole in a breast wound may be caused by normal physiological factors or pathological reasons such as malnutrition or inflammatory granulation tissue proliferation. It is recommended to seek timely treatment to avoid delaying the condition. Normally, the skin healing cycle lasts about 7 to 10 days; however, if the breast wound is deep, the healing period may be prolonged.
A non-healing hole in a breast wound may be caused by normal physiological reasons, or it could result from pathological factors such as malnutrition or inflammatory granulation tissue proliferation. It is recommended to seek timely treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
1. Physiological Causes
The normal skin healing cycle in humans typically lasts about 7 to 10 days. If a patient's breast wound is deep, the healing process may naturally take longer. This is considered a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special intervention; improvement will usually occur over time.
2. Pathological Causes
1) Malnutrition
If a patient frequently skips meals and lacks sufficient nutrients to meet the body’s needs, the wound site may not receive adequate nutrition necessary for healing, leading to persistent non-healing wounds. It is recommended that patients consume appropriate amounts of high-protein and high-fat foods to support wound recovery.
2) Inflammatory Granulation Tissue Proliferation
Under normal circumstances, skin begins to heal gradually after injury. However, if proper daily disinfection measures are not followed, inflammatory factors may accumulate locally. Under their stimulation, excessive inflammatory granulation tissue may develop at the wound site. In such cases, prompt medical attention is required. Under a doctor's guidance, the proliferated inflammatory tissue should be surgically removed to prevent interference with subsequent recovery.
Besides the common causes mentioned above, this condition may also result from tissue necrosis. Patients should therefore identify the specific underlying cause and receive targeted treatment accordingly.
