HOW TO HEAL SURGICAL WOUNDS QUICKLY? IN INDIA

According to statistics, nearly 2.5% of patients who have undergone the surgery are suffering from non-healing or slow-healing surgical wounds. Although this statistical data is quite favorable, if we see ourselves with the possibility of having ease of surgery in the upcoming future, what if we are one of those who fall under this percentage? It can be frustrating that now you have recovered from a condition through a successful surgery but now are suffering miserably from a non-healing or infected surgical wound. You start wondering, “Is there any possible way of speeding up the healing process after surgery?” The answer is Yes but it completely depends on the patient’s situation and the severity of the wound infection. For example, many surgical wounds can be treated with antibiotics to prevent infection. But a patient with some underlying conditions such as health issues or other risk factors is more prone to non-healing surgical wounds. Here are the symptoms of infection in surgical wounds: 1. Red & discolored skin around the wound site 2. Delayed healing 3. Increased pain 4. A bad odor or drainage from the wound site 5. Severe swelling 6. Skin feels hot to touch etc. If a patient notices any of these symptoms, he/she should immediately have a Surgical Wound Consult with a wound doctor. In some cases, an infected surgical wound may appear dried out or deeper. Fever is also a common symptom.
