การฟื้นตัวหลังผ่าตัด

Keep the incision clean and dry for 48 hours. Take your pain medication as prescribed — do not wait until the pain gets severe.

You can shower after 48 hours but no baths or swimming for two weeks. Your follow-up appointment is in ten days — we will check the incision and remove any stitches.

Call us right away if you see redness spreading around the incision, fever over 101, increasing pain, or any discharge from the wound. Those could signal an infection.

Let me examine the incision. It is healing nicely — no signs of infection. Some discomfort is expected for four to six weeks as the internal tissues heal.

For a desk job, you can go back next week. Take breaks to walk around every hour. Avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous activity for another four weeks.

If your pain is manageable, you can switch to over-the-counter Tylenol or ibuprofen. Do not stop the prescribed medication abruptly — taper down over a few days.
