During the first days after the operation, we recommend that you rinse the wound area with water during or after going to the toilet. Wear good supportive underwear with a sanitary towel.
If you use medication, it is important to bring an overview with you to your consultation, so that you can discuss this with your practitioner. Do you use blood thinners? Please indicate this! It is important that you stop this in time before you can have surgery.
If you smoke, you should stop at least 6 weeks before surgery. You should also not smoke for at least 6 weeks after your surgery. Smoking can disrupt the wound healing process, increasing the risk of complications and reducing the outcome.
Wear comfortable clothes to the surgery. After the operation it is nice to wear looser clothing to limit the discomfort.
