Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section and gave birth to my child half a month ago. My family still doesn't let me take a bath. How long after a cesarean section can you take a shower?Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, it is not recommended to take a bath before the wound heals. You can gently wipe with warm water. When you can take a bath, it is also not advisable to take a cold shower. You can take a bath with slightly warmer water to prevent catching a cold. After taking a bath, you must quickly dry your body and use a hairdryer to dry your hair. Because the body is weak after giving birth, it is easy to catch a cold and get sick with conditions like cesarean section, which are difficult to relieve.
