It's the third day after appendicitis operation. Is it better to lie down or sit down?

It is best to get up and move slowly, such as walking slowly on the ground. Take 10 steps at first, sit down and have a rest, and then step by step, 20 steps at a time, 30 steps at a time ... this is better for your intestines. If you lie or sit for a long time, intestinal peristalsis will slow down and intestinal adhesion will appear.

In addition, abdominal surgery usually takes 7 days to remove stitches. Don't do strenuous exercise immediately after removing stitches, such as sit-ups, which is not good for the wound.

Your attending doctor should have told you, and we will tell the patient what to do.

I hope you get well soon.
