After sinusitis surgery, it is generally recommended to take a normal bath after 5~7 days, but still need to control the water temperature and bathing time to avoid the occurrence of postoperative bleeding.
Sinusitis surgery is now mostly done under nasal endoscopy to remove the irreversible diseased tissues in the sinuses, rebuild the normal ventilation and drainage of the sinuses, and preserve and restore the physiological function of the sinuses. Intraoperative damage to the mucosa, blood vessels and bone and other structures, in the operation will be routinely and actively hemostatic disposal, but does not exclude the possibility of postoperative tissue exudate and capillary fragility blood seepage.
In the process of traumatic tissue healing and repair, the local coagulation mechanism and tissue metabolism often require competitive progress. Early bathing may cause accelerated blood circulation, leading to the rupture of unstable coagulation area in the operation area, and the risk of postoperative bleeding. The wound healing conditions and tissue repair can be completed 5-7 days after surgery, and it is safer to take a bath at this time.
However, the duration of bathing and water temperature should be adjusted after consulting the medical staff to avoid prolonged bathing or high water temperature, which may increase the chance of bleeding in the operation area.
