Patient's question:
Previously, I developed appendicitis due to some reasons, and it has been a year since the surgery. Last week, I suddenly felt some abdominal pain and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. It was found that I had an infection from the previous surgery, resulting in an inguinal hernia, and I underwent another hernia surgery. Hello, how long after the 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 go to a professional institution for a detailed examination as soon as possible to prescribe the correct treatment.
