Patient's question:
Previously, I developed appendicitis for some reasons, and it has been a year since the surgery. Last week, I suddenly had some stomach pain and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. It was found that I had an infection from the previous surgery and developed an inguinal hernia. Then I had another surgery for the inguinal hernia. Hello, how long after the inguinal hernia surgery can I take a bath?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, after a physical surgery, it is approximately half a month needed to see how the surgical incision recovers. Generally, the incision on the abdomen is usually healed within 15-20 days. Please make sure to keep it dry at all times to prevent the wound from becoming inflamed. If it has fully recovered, you can take a bath. It is recommended to undergo minimally invasive treatment, as this allows for a quicker recovery. There are many methods for treating diseases, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods will also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to seek professional medical evaluation as soon as possible for a detailed examination, so that the appropriate treatment can be administered.
