when the skin is slightly injured, it will stop bleeding naturally after a while. If the injury is serious and the wound is bleeding more, it can be pressed to stop bleeding, and the wound will heal slowly after a while. However, some people’s wounds always don’t heal or heal slowly. What’s the situation? How to solve it?

If the wound always does not heal, consider the following reasons:

first, the wound is infected. Infection is a common factor affecting wound healing. Once the wound is infected, the wound may not heal, but also fester and fester. In serious cases, it will cause sepsis and endanger life and health. For the case of suppurative wound infection, it is recommended to take intravenous drip or oral broad-spectrum antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment. Drugs such as Huoxue Shengji ointment can be considered for the wound.

second, hyperglycemia affects wound healing. If the patient is diabetic, the wound healing is relatively slow. Because the high glucose in the blood will naturally become a good medium for bacteria and other microorganisms, it is easy to be infected without paying attention. In addition, high blood glucose will also affect coagulation function, so drugs need to be used to control blood glucose.

third, malnutrition delays wound healing. If you do not pay attention to nutritional supplement after surgery and the body is lack of protein and other nutrients, it will slow down neovascularization, fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, resulting in wound nonunion or slow healing. Therefore, after the operation, we should eat more foods containing high-quality protein, such as pigeons, fish, eggs and so on.

fourth, the wound does not heal due to abnormal coagulation routine or abnormal platelet function. The first thing for wound healing is hemostasis. If there is a problem with the coagulation mechanism in the body and the wound cannot stop bleeding effectively for a long time, it is difficult to heal naturally, which is easy to delay healing and lead to infection. Drug intervention is needed at this time.

Zinc supplementation is conducive to wound healing

zinc is an activator of various enzymes required for metabolism and participates in the synthesis and metabolism of human fat, protein and RNA. After the operation, due to the stimulation of narcotic drugs and trauma, the metabolic rate in the human body will be significantly accelerated, resulting in an increase in zinc consumption, which is directly proportional to the size of the operation.

zinc is conducive to the division and growth of epidermal cells, accelerate the formation of wound new granulation tissue, and enhance the ability of muscle to produce collagen fibers, so as to improve the concentration of zinc in serum, make the wound heal faster and better, and is also conducive to the prevention and control of infection.

the main method of zinc supplement is to eat foods rich in zinc. Foods rich in zinc include seafood such as deep-sea fish and laver, beef, pig liver and pig kidney, nuts such as walnuts and peanuts, and legumes such as soybeans and broad beans. It is not enough for patients undergoing major surgery to supplement zinc with food alone. A certain amount of zinc preparation can be supplemented, which can not only supplement zinc and promote wound healing, but also have no side effects.

Precautions

1. When washing the wound, the patient should try to keep relaxed and distract his attention;

2. If the wound is painful, take painkillers or spray Zhitong powder before cleaning the wound;

3. If there is pus in the wound, squeeze it as clean as possible with two cotton balls;

4. If there is bleeding in the wound, slightly apply pressure at the bleeding place to help stop bleeding;

5. The festering wound has stench, indicating necrotic tissue. For example, the tissue has rotten meat, you can first wash it with tap water under high pressure, clean the wound, remove the rotten meat as much as possible, and then cover it with activated carbon dressing to help absorb the odor;

6. If there is a tunnel or fistula in the wound, it should be filled with gauze to help lead out the exudate;

7. When the wound gradually heals, the outer skin of the skin can be seen to proliferate. At this time, apply lipid water gel dressing to prevent it from hindering skin healing when removing the dressing.

wound treatment principles

various injuries often cause skin and soft tissue damage, and even limb breakage in severe cases. If the wound is treated correctly, it can heal quickly; On the contrary, it may cause suppurative infection, lasting for a long time, and even life-threatening due to concurrent systemic infection, gas gangrene, tetanus and so on. Therefore, the wound must be treated strictly and seriously.

once the human body is injured, if the wound is not treated in time, it is easy to cause wound infection.

the principle of wound treatment is

1. Hemostasis: hemostasis can be done in time according to specific conditions.

2. Bandage: if the wound is properly bandaged, it can reduce bleeding, pus and pain. Fast, accurate, light, firm, fast, fast and quick action shall be achieved during binding; Accurate, accurate and tight parts; Light, move gently, don’t touch the wound; Firm, firm binding and proper tightness.

Wound treatment step

1: clean the wound: wash the wound under flowing normal saline. Scrub the skin around the wound with a clean cloth dipped in soap. Be careful not to get soap into the wound, it will sting the skin. Then use gauze or tweezers to clean the dirt in the wound.

2. Hemostasis: don’t think bleeding is a bad thing. It can help clean the wound. Smaller wounds will soon stop bleeding automatically. If you want to stop bleeding quickly, you’d better attach a clean cloth to a harder object to compress the wound. If the wound is on the limbs, raise the injured part so that it is relatively higher than the heart, and the blood will stop slowly.

3. It is difficult to stop bleeding. Use bandage: if you press with a hard object for more than 10 minutes and still do not stop bleeding, you should use bandage. Bandages can help heal open wounds. If the wound is easily soiled or easily rubbed at any time, the wound can be wrapped with medical bandage and adhesive tape. But remember to change the gauze every day and keep it dry and clean. If the wound is too deep to recover the edge, it needs to be sutured to avoid infection.

4. Treatment of blood scab: for blood scab, the best way is not to do anything. The scab on the wound can prevent the pollution of dirty things. Try not to buckle the blood scab off the child. When the wound heals, the scab will peel off automatically.
