Cancer Wound Articles and Treatment with Bali Wound House
Did you know that cancer, especially advanced cancer, provides many manifestations and symptoms that arise, one of which is the emergence of cancer wounds such as blackened wounds. Cancer wounds have the characteristics of easy bleeding, odor, pain, excessive exudate and superficial inflammation which if not done good wound care management will reduce the quality of life of the cancer patient itself.
To heal cancer wounds, the cancer must be removed. But if surgery is not possible, then treatment is focused on the wound. The target of treatment is not to heal wounds, but to help patients maintain a good quality of life.
The higher the stage of the cancer, the more complex the wound. Maintenance is getting harder, and the cost is even greater. The doctor will assess the condition of the wound, and determine what the treatment will look like. Given that cancer wounds cannot heal, patients and patients' families must be able to independently care for cancer wounds or call a nurse home for wound home service to facilitate wound care so there is no need to go back and forth to the hospital.
Currently wound care is available in the Bali area using modern wound care. With trained facilities and officers, Balinese people no longer need to worry about treating cancer wounds at home.
With this facility will make it easier for doctors to treat cancer wounds, doctors will choose appropriate dressings to treat wounds. If the wound releases a lot of fluid, a bandage with high absorbency is used. How often the bandage needs to be changed, adjusted to how much fluid in the wound. In addition, the doctor may consider installing drainage, to drain the fluid out.
What if the type of wound is dry, then the choice is not a high-absorbency bandage. "It's a bandage that can prevent bleeding wounds. If it is infected with fungi, the doctor will give the drug ant fungus applied to the skin. By treating the infection, the odor can be eliminated, or at least reduced.
If there is necrotic tissue in a diabetic wound, we remove and clean the necrotic tissue. In cancer wounds, necrotic tissue cannot be removed just like that, because the nature of cancer wounds bleeds easily. If the necrotic tissue is forcibly removed, the wound will continue to bleed. Something is needed to soften hard necrotic tissue, for example with zinc. Once soft, the necrotic net will easily come off by itself.
Treatment of cancer wounds must still be consistent periodically. It could be that the condition of the wound changes which was a lot of fluid, then in treatment there is no longer much fluid. So, of course, the treatment will change. Only a doctor can determine what kind of treatment is needed.
