Recovery After Operation- FAQ -

The five common signs of post operative infection are:

  1. Redness or swelling around the incision
  2. Fever over 38°C
  3. Pus or cloudy drainage from the wound
  4. Increased pain or tenderness
  5. Warmth or foul odor near the surgical site

 

If you notice any of these, contact your surgeon immediately.

During recovery you have to monitor the following:

  • Wound healing and incision changes
  • Body temperature (fever check)
  • Pain levels and medication side effects
  • Swelling or unusual bruising
  • Mobility and energy levels

 

Tracking these helps prevent complications and speeds up healing.

Avoid these after surgery for faster heeling:

  • Heavy lifting or intense physical activity
  • Smoking and alcohol
  • Soaking in baths or pools
  • Skipping medications or wound care
  • Ignoring signs of infection or pain

 

Follow your surgeon’s instructions, strictly for better recovery.

Recovery time depends always on the type of surgery:

  • Minor procedures: 1–2 weeks
  • Moderate surgeries: 4–6 weeks
  • Major surgeries (e.g., abdominal, orthopedic): 8–12+ weeks

 

Your age, health, and post-op care all affect recovery speed.

To recover faster after surgery:

  • Follow all post-op instructions
  • Eat a protein-rich, nutritious diet
  • Stay hydrated
  • Move gently (as advised)
  • Get plenty of rest

 

Positive mindset and good sleep also play a key role in healing.

The hardest day after surgery is usually Day 2 or 3, when:

  • Inflammation peaks
  • Anesthesia wears off
  • Pain and swelling increase

 

Pain management, ice, and rest are crucial during this phase.
