Edema Control

Edema control post-surgery involves managing swelling in the body, which can occur due to tissue trauma from the operation. Techniques include elevating the affected area, applying cold packs to reduce inflammation, and using compression garments to improve circulation. Adequate hydration and a balanced diet can also support healing. Monitoring fluid intake and output helps prevent excessive swelling. Proper edema management is crucial for comfort, mobility, and recovery, ensuring that healing proceeds smoothly and complications are minimized. Always follow your healthcare provider's advice for the best outcomes.
