Question
Generally, why is it not recommended to administer intravenous fluids on the surgical side for breast cancer patients after surgery?
Answer
Generally, because after the axillary lymph nodes are cleared during breast cancer surgery, the local lymphatic vessels on the surgical side are damaged, leading to poor lymphatic blood circulation and an increased risk of local edema after fluid administration. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular lifestyle, endure treatment, and adopt a light diet while engaging in more aerobic exercises. These practices can be beneficial for their condition. I hope this information is helpful to you.
