Patient's question:
Post-hernia surgery, I haven't been able to pass gas. Is heat infrared therapy harmful to the postoperative wound?Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
What kind of help I expect: Some advice, thank you
Doctor's answer:
This hernia surgery may potentially involve the upper intestine, but it generally does not involve direct surgery or damage to the intestine. The lack of bowel movement is not closely related to this; as long as there is no abdominal pain, it is not a concern. Infrared therapy is a therapeutic device that can enhance local blood circulation, reduce swelling, and promote wound healing. The lack of bowel movement is related to the anesthesia used on the intestine. If there is no abdominal pain or other symptoms, it is not a problem, and you can consume some liquid foods. Infrared therapy is a beneficial therapeutic method for wound healing, as long as the temperature is not too high and does not burn the skin, it is generally harmless to the body. However, it should not be used by pregnant women. The above suggestions are for the question "Hernia surgery with no bowel movement after heat infrared therapy for postoperative wound." I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
