Pain after breast augmentation surgery in Nanjing
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery to improve the shape and size of the chest, and postoperative pain is a concern of many patients. In view of the situation in Nanjing, we will elaborate on this issue in detail from the causes of postoperative pain, the degree of pain, pain relief methods, and suggestions for coping with pain.
Causes of pain
There are two main reasons for postoperative pain: surgical trauma and physiological reaction during postoperative recovery. First of all, breast augmentation surgery is to change the shape and size of the chest by implanting a prosthesis in the chest. The surgery itself has certain trauma, so postoperative pain is inevitable.
Secondly, the physiological reaction in the process of postoperative recovery is also one of the causes of pain. After the prosthesis is implanted, the surrounding tissues need to adapt to changes and produce certain inflammatory reactions, which can also cause pain.
Therefore, postoperative pain is a normal physiological reaction, and with the passage of time and the recovery of the body, the pain will gradually reduce.
Degree of pain
The degree of postoperative pain varies with individual differences and surgical methods. Generally speaking, the first few days after surgery are the most obvious time of pain, and patients may feel pain, distension and even tingling in the chest. As time goes by, the pain will gradually reduce, and it can be obviously relieved about one week after the operation.
However, the postoperative pain varies from individual to individual. Some patients may only feel slight soreness, while others may feel obvious pain. No matter the degree of pain, patients need not worry too much, and doctors will give corresponding analgesic drugs and suggestions according to individual conditions.
Ways to relieve pain
In postoperative pain relief, doctors usually take the following methods:
1. Analgesics: doctors will prescribe appropriate analgesics according to the patient's pain degree and individual conditions, such as over-the-counter ibuprofen. These drugs can effectively relieve pain and help patients better pass the recovery period after surgery.
2. Proper rest: adequate rest and sleep are required during the recovery period after surgery, which helps to reduce pain. Patients should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy objects extraction, and actively maintain good posture to reduce chest pressure.
3. Ice compress therapy: Ice compress can alleviate postoperative inflammation and swelling, thereby reducing pain. Patients can use ice bags to gently ice the pain area on the first day after surgery, and each time does not exceed 15 minutes.
Suggestions for dealing with postoperative pain
In order to better deal with postoperative pain, patients should pay attention to the following points:
1. Carry out postoperative care in strict accordance with the doctor's recommendations. The doctor will give detailed postoperative nursing guidance according to individual conditions, and patients should carefully follow it and report any discomfort to the doctor in time.
2. Diet adjustment. Postoperative diet should be based on easily digested foods rich in protein and vitamins, avoiding spicy and greasy foods, which will help reduce postoperative inflammatory reaction and pain.
