Drinking alcohol is hazardous to health, so it is not recommended to drink alcohol after pterygium stitches are removed.
After pterygium surgery, you should pay attention to postoperative care as well as rest, avoid staying up late, laboring, and avoiding smoking and alcohol, and also avoiding smoking and alcohol after the stitches are removed after surgery. Alcohol can increase the permeability of blood vessels, causing oozing from the incision, edema and so on, delaying wound healing.
Alcohol is also a carcinogen, and long-term heavy drinking can cause liver and kidney damage, alcohol dependence, etc. Therefore, alcohol should not be consumed unless necessary, and if it is necessary to consume alcohol, the amount of intake should be controlled.
Drinking alcohol is not recommended after the removal of the stitches of pterygium, and patients should have regular checkups and frequent eye drops to avoid postoperative recurrence.
