How long does it take to recover after parotid gland tumor surgery?

Parotid gland tumor is a tumor that has no obvious symptoms at first and grows slowly. Most of them are benign tumors, but they may become malignant, and some may suddenly grow faster. In this case, surgical removal is required. The operation is not very difficult. The key is to care about the time required for postoperative recovery. So, how long does it take to recover after parotid gland tumor surgery? Let’s take a look below.

The body needs some time to recover after surgery. The specific recovery time depends on the patient's physical condition and lifestyle.

What should patients with parotid gland tumors do after undergoing resection surgery to facilitate postoperative recovery? First of all, we should pay attention to hygiene and the environment, avoid touching objects that may cause allergies, and also strengthen hygiene. In terms of diet, nourishment and recuperation should be carried out at multiple levels. First of all, you should not eat spicy or irritating foods, and you should not eat foods that are not hygienic. This will not only not help the recovery of the disease, but also cause the wound to heal very slowly, prolong the wound healing time and so on.

We should adapt to avoid these unhealthy habits during the recovery period and follow the doctor's instructions on food intake. Secondly, we should also eat some anti-cancer vegetables, such as cauliflower, cabbage, and other vegetables similar to broccoli that have anti-cancer and cancer prevention effects for conditioning. During this period, patients with parotid gland tumors should abstain from smoking and drinking to prevent these two methods from aggravating the condition. Family members should also give patients appropriate spiritual care, communicate with them frequently, understand their thoughts and physical conditions, and thus help communication between patients and attending physicians.

Patients with liver deficiency and yin deficiency can also eat some crow meat, pork kidneys, black beans, black sesame seeds and other foods during this period. Patients and their families should fully understand that during the postoperative recovery period, patients should not only recover from parotid gland tumor surgery but also strengthen their physical fitness and immunity.
