After strabismus surgery, the patient may have pain when the stitches are removed, but the pain is relatively short-lived and does not require special treatment.
For patients with strabismus, the removal of stitches after surgery may be accompanied by localized pain, but the duration of pain is short. Since everyone has a different tolerance for pain, some patients may feel slight or no pain when removing the stitches, while others may experience obvious or severe pain, which generally will not affect the recovery of the wound and does not require special treatment or excessive worry.
If the patient is very sensitive to pain, surface anesthesia drugs can be used as prescribed by the doctor if necessary. After removing the stitches, patients should pay attention to keep the wound clean and dry, to avoid foreign body irritation. Some patients also need to use amoxicillin, azithromycin and other drugs to fight infection, which can help promote the recovery of the wound.
It is recommended that the person who removes the stitches after strabismus surgery should adjust his mind to avoid excessive tension or anxiety, and should also actively cooperate with the doctor in order to remove the stitches smoothly.
