Healing After Undergoing Surgery

By Chet Sandeksi


After surgery you may find that you are left with scars that you do not want. Even after an electrosurgical procedure, you may want to find a way to minimize the visibility of the scar that was a result of the surgery.

Distance runners internalize mile lengths over long-distances. Whatever distance they rand before, they expect themselves to be able to run that distance again on a given day. There is a certain pride that comes from the speed or distance that they accomplish. Should the runner move any slower or run any shorter than what they have come to expect, they beat themselves up and try pushing to reach their goals. It is a dangerous thing to do. When you push yourself too hard, you could seriously injure yourself, which could lead to electro surgery.

First, when you are smoking you will find that this habit often slows your healing process. The healing process is often integral to ensuring that you can minimize the visibility of scars and it is important that you stop smoking when you want to get rid of your scars.

There is also safety that comes in numbers while you are running. When you are running at night or when you are running through busy areas, if you are running with a group you may find security in having people around you at all times and being able to stick with a group.

Second, you should avoid drinking alcohol. When you drink alcohol you dehydrate your body and your skin which can inhibit your skins ability to reproduce and replace the skin around the area that you haves been scarred. Rather than drinking alcohol, try to keep your body hydrated by drinking enough water. When you drink water you will be hydrating your body and your skin to ensure that your skin is able to reproduce and help your scar diminish in color and texture.

Signing up for a few races can be a great way to train and add some variety to your runs. Being excited about a race that you are going to participate in can give you the motivation that you need to push through some of the tougher runs and to add some excitement to your routine.

While you are working on pushing through your training routine for a race, you may not want to forget the importance of taking a break. You can seriously injure yourself running and you want to make sure that your body is rested and prepared for each run that you take on.

When you find that you are worried about your scar, you should discuss this worry with your doctor. Follow what your doctor says and ensure that you are keeping in touch with your doctor about the progress that you and your scar are making.

As you continue to heal, meet with your doctor and discuss what you have been doing for your scar. Talking with your doctor about your options and ensuring that your scars are taken care of is a great way to be able to recover from your surgery.

Recover fully before you hit the pavement and make sure that you take care of your body while you run. This way, you can get the benefits of running and ensure that your body is as healthy as you can keep it throughout your life.
