Patient's question:
I have uterine fibroids. A few days ago, I had surgery for uterine fibroids. I want to know what precautions to take after the surgery, specifically regarding how long after the surgery can I take a shower? The help I need: How long after the surgery can I take a shower?Doctor's answer:
Hysterectomy surgery is divided into two types. I don't know which two types of surgery you had. If it was an open surgery, the wound is larger, and the recovery time may be longer, at least half a month or more before the wound can fully heal. If it is a minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, the recovery is faster, the wound is smaller, and it is generally about 10 days before the stitches are removed. It is recommended that you consider taking a bath after one month, as postoperative physical strength is relatively poor and it is easy to catch a cold.
