Patient's question:
My child is one and a half years old this year. He had surgery on the 2nd, and it has been 14 days so far. He had surgery with non-removable stitches. Recently, with the weather getting warmer, I want to give my child a bath, but I don't know if it's okay. Could you please tell me how long after the hydrocele and undescended testicle surgery can a baby take a bath?Doctor's answer:
At five months old, it is recommended to bathe the baby every two or three days. If the weather is particularly hot, it is necessary to bathe the baby daily. An infant who has undergone surgery for five months can also be given a bath. However, when bathing, it is important to ensure that the wound does not get wet to avoid infection. The part of the baby where the surgery was performed is very painful. It is also possible not to bathe the baby in Xi'an until the wound stops hurting. It can also be cleaned. Take some anti-inflammatory medication.
