Treating bruises after surgery
The appearance of a bruise after a OP is initially nothing to worry about. During an operation, even if it was an operation with minimally invasive intervention (keyhole operation), tissue is injured and the surrounding tissue is hemorrhaged. A bruise occurs.
- You may not see the bruise straight away after an operation. Often the bleeding is deep at first. So it is not uncommon for the bruise to become visible only a few days after the operation after an operation. It is possible, however, that you can feel a hardening in the tissue and the area is painful.
- After every operation, it is important that you take enough care of yourself. Cool the surgical area with a cooling element. Never place the cooling element directly on the skinto prevent damage to the skin and scar tissue. It is better to wrap the cooling element in a cloth before use. Do not chill continuously. The operating theater should be able to recover between cooling applications.
- A supportive measure in the event of a bruise after the operation is an interaction of cooling and warming. With a hot water bottle, which should not be hot, you can warm up the area where the bruise occurred after the operation and thus increase the blood flow to the tissue.
- If there are no major wounds near the bruise, an ointment containing heparin can help make the bruise go away faster.
