After surgery it's common to feel pain in the area operated on, and postsurgical pain control aims to keep it at tolerable levels to support a more comfortable recovery.
What is it? It is the management of pain that appears after an operation, planned according to the type of surgery and each person's needs.
What is it for? It helps with rest, earlier movement, and participation in rehabilitation, which can contribute to a better outcome.
Who performs it? It is usually coordinated by an anesthesiologist or a pain specialist. The plan is defined individually, so it's best to arrange it with your medical team.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
