#Wisdom Elderly Chief Recommendation Officer #【Patient Question】Will you lose your appetite after knee replacement?

【Doctor's answer】General joint replacement will not cause loss of appetite, as long as regular exercise and normal exercise rehabilitation, there will be no major digestive tract impact. Knee replacement is a relatively large operation in orthopedics, and with the improvement of surgical techniques, the operation can be completed within an hour, generally without causing gastrointestinal effects.

But after all, it is surgery, generally undergoing anesthesia, and gastrointestinal symptoms may occur during the perioperative period. Rapid recovery is now commonly used, with light drinks available two hours before surgery and immediately two hours after surgery. After the protection of the digestive tract, the damage to the digestive tract will be relatively small during the perioperative period, so it is generally unlikely to have a loss of appetite in the hospital.

If the physique is relatively poor and the ability to withstand surgery is relatively poor, there may be a loss of appetite. After knee replacement, patients are required to get out of bed early, for the purpose of joint function rehabilitation, as well as gastrointestinal rehabilitation, do not let the patient stay in bed for a long time, so as not to cause a decline in digestive function. #哆咖医生超能团 #
