Introduction
If there is still pain inside one week after surgery, it may be caused by problems such as wound infection, hematoma, or nerve damage. You should promptly consult your doctor and undergo appropriate examinations to determine the specific cause. Meanwhile, pay attention to postoperative care, avoid irritating the wound, follow medical advice for medication, and engage in proper physical exercise to promote recovery.
It has been one week since minimally invasive breast surgery, and pain inside the surgical area may still occur due to possible causes such as wound infection, hematoma, or nerve damage. Specific explanations are as follows:
1. Infection
Infection after surgery is one of the more common complications, which may lead to incision inflammation and pain. If accompanied by symptoms such as fever, redness, or swelling, patients can take medications like amoxicillin capsules or cefaclor sustained-release tablets under a doctor's guidance to alleviate symptoms.
2. Hematoma
Hematoma formation after surgery is also relatively common and may cause pain and swelling. If obvious swelling is present, local heat application may help promote hematoma absorption and relieve pain.
3. Nerve Damage
The surgery may injure surrounding nerves, resulting in pain and other symptoms. Patients are advised to improve symptoms through treatments such as acupuncture and physical therapy.
In addition, persistent pain one week after surgery could also be due to incomplete resolution of inflammation or improper postoperative care. Therefore, if pain persists, patients should promptly consult their doctor and undergo appropriate examinations to determine the exact cause. Meanwhile, patients should pay attention to postoperative care, avoid irritating the wound, follow medical advice for medication, and engage in appropriate physical exercise to support recovery and overall health.
