Causes of wound pain after surgery

Generally speaking, wound pain after surgery is a normal physiological phenomenon. The surgical incision will form a scar about 2 to 3 weeks later. At this time, the wound tissue begins to proliferate, and the proliferation will gradually stop after about 3 to 6 months. At this time, the scar will gradually soften. When a scar begins to proliferate, the area will appear red, purple, and harden. Because there are new nerve endings in the scar, the scar will feel itchy and painful, usually with tingling being the most obvious. Generally speaking, this type of wound pain does not require any special treatment and is a normal phenomenon. If the patient finds it unbearable, some painkillers can be used as auxiliary treatment.
