Patient's question:
[Condition Description: Feeling weak all over, went to the hospital two days ago for a check-up. The doctor said it was phimosis, a severe condition with some inflammation. It's been three days since the surgery, and the doctor has asked me to go to the hospital every day for intravenous fluids, red light therapy, and something called mist therapy. I'm wondering what the effects of these treatments are.History of Previous Treatment and Effect: Currently being treated.
Help Needed: I'm asking what the effects of these treatments are.]
Doctor's answer:
The red light therapy device has the following effects:(1) Effectively inhibits inflammation and relieves pain: Red light irradiation can control staphylococcal infectious inflammation. Its main mechanism involves stimulating the body's defense capabilities, enhancing immune function, promoting the generation and metabolism of active substances in tissues and pain-causing substances, and quickly eliminating inflammation. Red light irradiation can also effectively inhibit neural excitement, relax muscles, allow the pain area to undergo aerobic metabolism, block the vicious cycle of pain, and achieve the goals of relieving muscle spasms, alleviating pain, and improving pain conditions.
(2) Accelerates wound healing: The biological stimulation of red light can effectively promote the proliferation of fibrocytes and endothelial cells, increase cellular metabolism, enhance cellular synthesis, and promote granulation tissue growth, leading to rapid wound healing.
(3) Lowers blood viscosity: By improving the deformability of red blood cells, enhancing the aggregation of red blood cells and platelets, increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells, restoring the original negative charge of red blood cells, and increasing mutual repulsion between them, aggregated red blood cells disperse, thereby reducing blood viscosity.
