Congratulations, you are on the mend after having this surgery done. We know that it is normal to go through a difficult process of discomfort and discomfort during the first 3 to 5 days. After this time, the discomfort will be more tolerable. It is important that you read these instructions carefully, as many of the questions you may have at this stage are described here.

You have to know that many patients go through a moment of doubt and regret during the first days of recovery, however, as the days go by, that emotion begins to fade and the stage of enthusiasm begins.

CLEANING INDICATIONS

The bath and toilet of the wound is daily. In the morning, it will be your first bath, when removing the bandages or girdles you must do it carefully and slowly, some patients at this time experience drops in blood pressure and may feel dizzy or even faint If this happens, you do not have to panic, it will be temporary and will only last a few minutes. If you see the bandages stained with a little blood, it is normal (IT IS NOT FRESH BLOOD, IT IS WATER COMBINED WITH BLOOD). Once you take them off you can take a bath, remember that the water should not be extremely hot, it can lower your pressure and cause you to faint. Already in the shower you can use common soap or neutral soap to wash the holes and / or wound. You do not have to carve the area very hard, just leaving it clean on the surface will be enough. It is possible that after the bath, a little fluid continues to come out of the wound, this is normal. We give you a spray, apply that spray on the wound so that the area is clean. Once the spray has been applied, we recommend you put some clean and new gauze in the wound area and on top of that your new girdle.
