Can I eat eggs after removal of an intramuscular hemangioma?

Generally speaking, whether patients can eat eggs after resection of an intermuscular hemangioma depends on individual circumstances. Patients who are not allergic to eggs and have good postoperative recovery can usually consume eggs; however, those who are allergic to eggs or have weak digestive function or signs of infection after surgery should temporarily avoid eating eggs. Detailed explanations are as follows:

If the patient has no known egg allergy, shows no signs of wound redness, swelling, or discharge, and has normal digestive function, consuming a moderate amount of eggs can provide high-quality protein that aids wound healing and overall recovery. In such cases, 1–2 eggs per day are acceptable, preferably prepared in easily digestible forms such as steamed or boiled eggs.

However, if the patient is allergic to eggs, consumption may trigger adverse reactions such as rashes or diarrhea, which could impair postoperative recovery. Additionally, if the patient has weakened digestion, experiences bloating, or shows signs of wound infection after surgery, the protein in eggs might increase the body's burden. Therefore, egg consumption is not recommended until allergies are ruled out or the patient’s condition improves.

To promote postoperative recovery, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and greasy foods, and prioritize easily digestible, high-protein, and high-vitamin foods. Additionally, keep the surgical wound clean and dry, avoid strenuous activities, and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor wound healing. Combining proper nutrition with appropriate wound care can accelerate recovery.
