Patient's question:
Endometriosis surgery suture healing didn't go well, asked the doctor, the doctor said it's not contagious. I want to use some Yunnan Baiyao powder, is it okay? What should I do if endometriosis surgery suture healing doesn't go well?Doctor's answer:
According to the pictures sent, it is considered that the poor healing of the incision is caused by fat vaporization. This may be due to the high temperature generated during the surgery when the subcutaneous fat tissue was removed with an electrocautery, leading to superficial thermal burns of the subcutaneous fat tissue and repeated degeneration of some fat cells due to thermal injury. This results in recurrent sterile suppuration of the fat tissue after surgery. Additionally, it may be related to the original scar from a cesarean section, where local malnutrition also affects the healing of the incision.The condition can be treated by using povidone-iodine to sterilize the affected area daily, followed by applying sterile yellow gauze. Once the incision becomes somewhat dry, use adhesive bandages to close the incision from top to bottom, and overlap the bandages to allow them to naturally fuse together.
