After thrombolysis surgery for herniated lumbar disc, the wound usually recovers better in about 2 weeks, so you can take a shower in about two weeks, but for some patients with poorer recovery, it may take longer before you can take a shower, and the amount of time you can take a shower depends mainly on the recovery of the wound. Lumbar disc surgery should wait for some time before taking a shower because there will be a surgical incision for lumbar disc herniation thrombolysis, and the surgical incision may lead to infection when taking a shower. Therefore, patients need to wait until the surgical incision has fully recovered before they can take a shower, and until the wound is fully healed, they can wipe other parts of the body other than the incision to clean the skin. If an infection occurs after lumbar disc surgery due to bathing, the patient needs to disinfect the wound with iodophor to avoid further deterioration. If the wound does not heal for a long time after the infection, the patient should go to the hospital for timely consultation.
