To ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications, there are specific post-operative care instructions to follow. It’s crucial to keep the surgical area clean and dry, following the recommended hygiene practices provided by your surgeon. You may be advised to wear loose-fitting clothing and avoid activities that could cause excessive friction or stretching of the surgical area. It is important to avoid sexual intercourse, tampon use, and rigorous physical activities for the recommended period specified by your surgeon. Additionally, your surgeon may recommend the use of pain medications, topical creams, and ice packs to manage any discomfort or swelling during the healing process. It’s essential to attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and receive any additional guidance or instructions for optimal healing.
