How soon can you shower after surgery

Bathing time after surgery needs to be objectively analyzed based on factors such as the type and location of the surgery, post-operative requirements or wound healing. In most cases, bathing can be done in about 3~5 days or 7~10 days. 1.3~5 days or so: If you have undergone hemorrhoid surgery, anal fistula surgery or perianal abscess surgery, facial surgery, appendicitis surgery, thyroidectomy, etc., generally if there is no infection after the surgery and the wound recovers well, you can take a bath in most cases in about 3~5 days. Or choose the method of sitz bath for body cleaning. 2.7~10 days: If you have undergone abdominal, limb surgery, shoulder and back skin surgery, etc., and the wounds are small and there is no infection, you can take a bath in about 7~10 days. When taking a bath, pay attention to wrap the wound with plastic wrap or waterproof items to avoid infection, the bathing time should not be too long, and if there is any discomfort after the operation, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time.
