Patient's question:
Can people have a shower on the day of surgery? How many days after can they wash their hair?Doctor's answer:
Within one month after the surgery, sexual activity and tub baths are prohibited. You can wash your hair with warm water, but when taking a bath, avoid catching a cold. From the second week after the surgery, you need to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. If possible, take one to two weeks off work to avoid strenuous exercise and catching a cold. You should eat more nutritious and easily digestible foods, such as chicken soup, fish soup, and pork rib soup, and consume fresh vegetables and fruits appropriately. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
