Symptoms of good recovery after adrenal tumor surgery

The main symptoms of good recovery after adrenal tumor surgery include normal wound healing, gradual recovery of physical strength, and gradual stabilization of endocrine function related to surgery. Three aspects can be used as the focus of observation for postoperative recovery: first, the recovery of the surgical site and physical signs; second, whether the overall physical condition, such as fatigue, has been reduced; and third, whether the monitoring of related hormone indicators tends to be normal.

1. Recovery of surgical site

Good postoperative recovery is first reflected in the normal healing of the wound. Observing whether there is infection, redness, swelling or exudation at the incision site is an important indicator. If the incision scar gradually becomes flat, there is no obvious pain, and there is no abnormality in the surrounding tissue, it usually indicates that the local recovery is ideal. If an abnormality is found in the incision, the attending physician should be consulted as soon as possible to avoid affecting the recovery process.

2. Physical and mental state

The patient's physical strength gradually recovers, fatigue decreases, and activity tolerance increases, which is also one of the signs of good recovery after surgery. Surgery for adrenal tumors may cause weakness for a period of time, but as the body gradually recovers, the patient usually feels a significant improvement in mental state. At this time, appropriate increase in light aerobic exercise such as slow walking can promote blood circulation and reduce the risk of complications.

3. Hormone level monitoring

The adrenal gland is an endocrine organ, and surgery on it affects hormone metabolism. In the six months after surgery, it is especially important to pay close attention to hormone indicators such as cortisol and adrenaline. If the patient's blood pressure and blood sugar are stable, and there is no sudden increase or decrease in weight, it indicates that the endocrine system is returning to normal levels. If hormone indicators are abnormal for a long time, such as too high or too low, it is necessary to communicate with the doctor in time to adjust the drug dosage or treatment plan.

Having the above symptoms usually indicates a good recovery after surgery. However, if you experience persistent fatigue, significant hormone fluctuations, or non-healing incisions, you should not ignore it and go to the hospital for a checkup and adjustment of the treatment plan in a timely manner. Postoperative rehabilitation requires not only close observation of the physical condition, but also a scientific diet and moderate exercise to help the body adjust comprehensively.
