Disease/Condition Glossary

• Postoperative wounds and inflammatory conditions often cause pain, swelling, and redness due to the body’s natural healing response or an underlying infection. This is common after surgery or in conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, or skin injuries. Symptoms include tenderness, warmth around the site, limited mobility, and sometimes fever if infection is present. Causes include surgical trauma, tissue damage, or immune reactions. Management includes rest, elevation, cold compresses, and anti-inflammatory medications like NSAIDs or corticosteroids. In some cases, antibiotics may be required if infection develops. Ensuring clean wound care and following medical advice helps speed recovery. While recovering, avoid putting pressure on affected areas and maintain good hygiene to reduce inflammation and support healing.
