Terapia con oxígeno hiperbárico para HS?

Hi all,

I'm going to have a surgery to excise HS from armpit and groin, and my plastic surgeon referred me to a wound care specialist for consultation prior to surgery since I cannot have flap closures for the excision...so I'll have open surgical wounds that have to heal and close themselves.  I saw the wound care specialist yesterday, and she strongly suggested having hyperbaric oxygen therapy BEFORE the surgery for six weeks, M-F.  I'm in the States, and she told me hyperbaric oxygen therapy is currently being used to treat HS in Europe and Asia.  She believes it could very well seriously improve my HS lesions...at the very least to make the surgery less invasive and have my vascular system at a better place to heal itself after surgery.  

Just wondering if anybody else had heard of this treatment for HS before.

Nunca había oído hablar de ello. Estoy en el Reino Unido y he visto a varios médicos, pero ninguno ha mencionado este tratamiento. Si fuera tú, obtendría pruebas de dónde se utiliza esta terapia, con qué frecuencia y qué tan exitosa ha sido, y luego investigaría esas estadísticas por ti mismo. ¡Mucha suerte con la cirugía!

Hi Beth,  you obviously researched HS well and know that surgery does not always help.... I unfortunately do not know of this treatment, but I want to say that doctors should stop looking to send us for expensive treatments and rather concentrate on a cure. We cure some cancers for pete sake. I think doctors nowadays just look for ways to line their pockets. Sorry...venting a bit on your thread.
