What should I pay attention to after mastectomy?

The breast is a relatively important organ for women. In daily life, it is not uncommon to have breast removal due to emotional factors, dietary factors, disease factors, etc. Diseases such as breast cancer, breast tumors, and breast hyperplasia all require mastectomy when they affect normal life. Early use of mastectomy to treat breast cancer is also beneficial to breastfeeding for the next generation. Breast removal does not mean the disease is cured. There are also some precautions that need to be taken. Let us learn about them below.

(1) After mastectomy, patients enter the recovery stage. During the recovery process, patients need enough rest to better restore their physical strength and thus improve their body resistance. Therefore, after mastectomy, patients must pay attention to adequate bed rest.

(2) During the recovery process, you must pay attention to emotional regulation. Many patients will become fearful or negative after losing their breasts, but these are not conducive to physical recovery. It is recommended to actively try to face changes with an optimistic attitude, feel more care and love from family and friends, and improve your mentality.

(3) Pay attention to the maintenance and disinfection of the mastectomy incision to avoid bacterial infection of the incision that may affect postoperative recovery.

The above is an introduction to mastectomy. Although no one wants to have a mastectomy, if you unfortunately suffer from a related disease and need to have your breast removed, it is recommended that you provide comprehensive care.
