Proper wound care is essential for preventing infection and ensuring smooth healing after surgery. Keep the wound area clean and dry, and follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dressing changes and cleaning. Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the wound, and avoid soaking in baths or swimming until given the all-clear. Be vigilant for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or drainage from the wound, and report these to your healthcare provider immediately. Regular check-ups may include monitoring your wound for healing progress, which will help ensure optimal recovery without complications.
