On the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen peroxide for wound treatment
There are various opinions on the application of hydrogen peroxide. Doctors often investigate the advantages and disadvantages when treating wounds, so as to implement appropriate methods.

Hydrogen peroxide, chemical name hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidation. On the wound, when it encounters peroxidase in the tissue, it can explain oxygen, which can sterilize and disinfect. Looking at its sterilization effect, it can eliminate common bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Because bacteria are not resistant to this strong oxidizing environment, it can reduce the risk of wound infection.

However, its use also has disadvantages. Although hydrogen peroxide can sterilize, it also damages normal tissues. Its strong oxidation can cause damage to healthy cells and delay wound healing. Cover wound healing requires orderly cell proliferation and migration, and the role of hydrogen peroxide disrupts this process. There have been cases in which an injured person flushed the wound frequently with hydrogen peroxide. Although the initial infection did not occur, the healing was slow and the scar was larger than usual.

Furthermore, the use of hydrogen peroxide in the wound can cause severe pain. Because of its rapid response to tissue contact, a large amount of gas is released, which stimulates nerve endings, and the injured person often feels unbearable pain. This pain not only increases the physical and mental burden of the injured person, but also makes them afraid of subsequent treatment, which affects the recovery process.

In summary, there are advantages and disadvantages to using hydrogen peroxide in the wound. Small and shallow wounds with light pollution can be used with caution to achieve the purpose of disinfection, and it should be fully rinsed with water after use to reduce the continuous damage to the tissue. If the wound is deep or seriously polluted, the pros and cons should be weighed, or appropriate disinfectant should be selected to avoid improper use of hydrogen peroxide, delaying wound healing and causing adverse consequences. Doctors should make careful choices according to the specific circumstances of the wound, so that the treatment is appropriate and the injured can recover as soon as possible.
