It is not recommended to touch cool water after hernia surgery to avoid affecting the healing of the wound.
Hernias can be categorized into straight hernia, hiatal hernia, umbilical hernia and so on according to their location, and surgery is the fundamental way to treat hernia.
The wound should not touch water for a week after hernia surgery.
If you touch water too soon, it may cause inflammation and infection of the hernia surgery wound, while cool water stimulation may cause tension in the abdominal muscles and affect the healing of the skin around the incision.
Therefore, it is not recommended to touch cold water after hernia surgery. Even if the wound can be touched with water after one week, it is recommended to take a bath with warm water, avoid touching the wound and the surrounding skin as much as possible, and go to the hospital if there is any discomfort.
