Daily hygiene and care
Gentle, consistent hygiene supports comfort and lowers infection risk during healing.
Use products recommended by your care team and avoid unsupervised changes during the early phase.
Post-op care: hygiene, activity, and follow-up
A concise guide to organize daily self-care and know when to escalate to your medical team.
Daily hygiene, activity progression, follow-up, and warning signs that require medical review.
Activity and routine progression
Resume activity gradually, starting with low-impact movement before adding demanding exercise.
A staged return lowers complication risk and improves confidence in day-to-day recovery.
Follow-up and warning signs
Keep every scheduled checkup, even when symptoms feel manageable. Early detection prevents escalation.
Fever, foul odor, increasing pain, or heavy bleeding should be treated as urgent review triggers.
FAQ
