Patient's question:
My father is 60 years old, weighing 70 kilograms, and is 165 cm tall. On the third day after the hernia surgery, the wound was swollen and red. On the fourth day, there was red bloody discharge. On the fifth day, there was purulent discharge. The doctor said to tolerate daily dressing changes. On the seventh day, the redness and swelling spread. What should I do? Urgent! What should be done for further treatment?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the hernia surgery is an aseptic operation, and the incision is also sterile. This may reoccur during the dressing change process, leading to accidental re-infection. If you have diabetes, blood glucose testing may be sensitive to the suture line, which could result in suture line dehiscence again. In such a case, active care of the incision is necessary, with dressing changes and treatment as the foundation, and antibiotics to ensure that the incision does not become infected before debridement. The condition of the urological disease is very serious, and it is recommended that the patient seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition. The above answers are hoped to assist you. Thank you.
