postoperative pain

Postoperative pain is the discomfort or pain that patients often experience after undergoing surgery. This pain is a normal response as the body heals from the surgical procedure. Factors such as the type of surgery, individual pain tolerance, and overall health can influence the level of pain experienced. Healthcare providers typically manage this pain with medications and techniques to ensure patient comfort during recovery. Recognizing and addressing postoperative pain is crucial, as it can impact healing and overall recovery. Effective pain management helps patients engage in rehabilitation and return to their normal activities more quickly.
