How many days after delivery can a woman bathe

There is no fixed time for bathing after delivery, as natural delivery is not the same as cesarean section, and each case has to be analyzed on its own merits. For natural births, you can usually take a shower after delivery, but it depends on your situation and you should choose to take a shower. For cesarean section, you can shower after the wound has healed. 1. Natural birth: If the mother is in good health and there is no side incision on the perineum, she can usually take a shower after delivery. If the perineal incision is not healing well, or if the mother is in poor physical condition, it is best to postpone the shower to avoid increasing the chance of infection and falls in the shower. 2. Cesarean section: cesarean section of the mother, 1 week after delivery is not able to take a shower, generally in the post-partum wound healing can be carried out after the shower. Can be localized with warm water to wipe the body. Cesarean section should strengthen the care, abdominal wounds do not get wet, and change the medicine on time, avoid abdominal exertion, found that the surgical incision site rupture or oozing and other abnormalities, should also promptly consult a doctor. Since the uterus will still bleed in the short term after delivery, the cervix is relatively open, and there may be some damage to the vulva or vagina, you should take a shower instead of a bath, and be careful of slippery floors when showering.
