Can I take a bath after hernia surgery?

After hernia surgery, it is usually advocated that you can take a bath after taking out stitches 1 week, as follows:

1, traditional surgery: the time of thread removal needs to be judged according to personal conditions, usually 2 weeks. 1 After that, the needle sinus will heal, so you can take a bath at this time;

2. Minimally invasive surgery: Some hernias are treated by minimally invasive surgery, and there may be no suture on the skin, so they are only pasted with bio-glue. In this case, stitches are not needed, and the incision may heal 7- 10 days after operation. At this time, it is recommended to take a bath 2 weeks after operation;

3. Laparoscopy: There is no big incision in the operation, only the trocar holes of laparoscopy, and the proportion of trocar holes is small. If suture and needling are performed, stitches may be removed after 1 week, and you can take a bath after 1 week.

Therefore, how long to take a bath after hernia surgery needs to be judged according to the specific surgical method, and whether the patient has suture needs to be judged according to the specific requirements of the doctor. Ask the surgeon for the bath time after operation, and the doctor's statement shall prevail.
