Nearly 6 months after my breast cancer operation, my wife has a right breast resection. The skin of the operative site still feels numb, sometimes the scar is pruritus, and the itchy side is not sweating after the operation. Is it normal?
Condition Analysis:
During treatment, surgeons usually remove the whole breast and a large number of adipose tissue with lymph nodes under the breast skin. You can observe whether the cancer has spread, so the sensory nerve between the ribs may also be cut off. Therefore, the patient may have limited movement of the shoulder, numbness, stiffness, weakness and pain of the arm after the operation. Generally speaking, the pressure of breast cancer can be reduced by pressure bandaging, which is a normal phenomenon.
Condition Analysis:
Half a year after breast cancer surgery, the skin of the operative site often feels numb, prickle and itchy, which is a normal manifestation after surgery. No sweating after axillary lymph node dissection on the affected side is considered to be caused by the destruction of sweat glands, which is a normal phenomenon. Pay attention to avoid upper limb edema caused by limb exertion.
Condition Analysis:
Partial numbness of breast cancer may cause local numbness, which may cause numbness. Scar may also be different from normal skin. It can also eat vitamin B1, vitamin B2, often itching scar. This area is also a normal reaction. It can smear scar, and the axilla does not sweat. It may also be that the glands in this area have been damaged, and it is also a normal reaction.
