Post-nephrectomy pain refers to discomfort experienced after the surgical removal of a kidney. This pain can result from the surgical incision, muscle or tissue trauma, or irritation of the surrounding nerves. It may vary in intensity and can be localized to the surgical site or radiate to other areas. Effective pain management typically includes medications, physical therapy, and gradual return to normal activities. If pain is severe or persistent, consulting a healthcare provider is essential to address potential complications and ensure proper healing.
