What precautions should be taken after surgery for vitiligo patients?
There are many ways to treat vitiligo, some choose drug treatment, some choose surgery and so on. You still need to look at your own condition and physical condition, which method is suitable for which treatment you choose. Today we are going to talk about the things that vitiligo patients need to pay attention to after surgery.
Patients with vitiligo need to pay attention to the following after surgical treatment:
Maintain a good routine. After the operation, the body is relatively weak, and the patient can’t be regarded as a completely healthy body to practice, staying up late, working overtime, going to bed late, etc. The combination of work and rest is the correct way to maximize vitiligo treatment.
Secondly, do not carry out intense exercise. Especially in the area where the operation is performed, it is impossible to perform a lot of muscle activity. I have a patient who has vitiligo on the face and can't speak for a week after the operation. He can only eat slowly and carefully. This is to consolidate the treatment effect before the operation.
Attention should also be paid to diet. In order not to affect the effect of surgical treatment of vitiligo, patients with vitiligo should try to choose a light diet, but its nutrition cannot be ignored. Eat more foods rich in tyrosine and trace elements, such as lean meat, animal liver, fresh vegetables, nuts, soy products, etc.
Pay attention to protecting the affected area: For example, during the recovery period, the weather is hot and the light is strong. We should pay attention to sun protection and protect the vitiligo on the affected area. We should not choose clothes that are too tight, which increases the friction between the skin and the clothes. Affect the treatment effect and aggravate the condition of vitiligo.
Reminder: Generally, there is a recovery period after surgical treatment. During this period, patients must pay more attention to nursing care, and do not let the negligence of small details affect the condition.
