How long should it generally be applied?Doctor's answer:
After surgery, the salt bag can be applied to the incision area to serve the effect of medication, preventing incisional edema. The main purpose is to reduce the tension of the wound caused by abdominal pressure. This generally needs to be applied for 12-24 hours.After inguinal hernia surgery, it is important to pay attention to preventing colds, coughing, and crying to avoid any possibility of increasing abdominal pressure, such as constipation. Adjust physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
