Postoperative Care Instructions for Granulomatous Mastitis

In general, granulomatous mastitis refers to granulomatous lobular mastitis. After surgery for granulomatous lobular mastitis, attention should be paid to adequate rest, dietary adjustment, wound care, rehabilitation exercises, and regular follow-up visits.

1. Adequate rest: Patients should ensure sufficient rest after surgery, avoid strenuous activities and excessive fatigue, which helps the body recover and reduces energy consumption.

2. Dietary adjustment: Postoperative diet should be light and easily digestible, with increased intake of vegetables, fruits, and other foods rich in fiber, as well as foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, which aid wound healing and enhance immunity. Spicy, greasy, and irritating foods should be avoided.

3. Wound care: Keep the wound clean and dry, change dressings as directed by the physician, and monitor for signs of infection such as redness, swelling, or discharge. If any abnormalities occur, seek medical attention promptly.

4. Rehabilitation exercises: Patients may engage in appropriate rehabilitation activities after surgery, such as walking or jogging, which are low-intensity exercises, but should avoid strenuous physical activity.

5. Regular follow-up: Regular postoperative follow-up visits to the hospital are necessary to assess recovery, and to detect and manage any potential recurrence or complications promptly.

The above recommendations should be carried out under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure optimal recovery outcomes.
