Postoperative electrotherapy for keloids is a medical procedure that uses electrothermal therapy to promote the recovery of keloids. This therapy is performed after keloid surgery to promote blood circulation, accelerate tissue repair, and reduce scar hyperplasia through heating.
Electrotherapy is important because it can help reduce discomfort after keloid surgery, promote wound healing, and reduce excessive scar tissue growth. This is crucial for preventing keloid recurrence and improving patients' quality of life.
Electrotherapy involves placing an electric heating device near the surgical site of a keloid scar. The heat generated stimulates local blood circulation, promoting the absorption and metabolism of inflammatory substances, thereby accelerating the tissue repair process. This heat effect can also relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and create a favorable environment for wound healing.
After electrotherapy, patients need to carefully observe the reaction of the treated area, such as changes in skin color and temperature, and whether there is any abnormal pain. After normal electrotherapy, the treated area may have slight redness, which indicates improved blood circulation. If persistent redness, increased pain, or discharge occurs, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly to rule out the possibility of infection or other complications.
【Useful Tips:】
1. Ensure that electrotherapy is performed under the guidance of a professional doctor and avoid self-treatment.
2. Keep the treated area clean and dry after treatment, and avoid contact with water or other contaminants.
3. Carefully observe the reaction of the treated area. If any abnormalities occur, seek medical attention promptly.
4. Follow your doctor's advice and have regular check-ups to monitor the treatment's effectiveness and your body's response.
