How long after ectopic pregnancy surgery can I take a shower and wash my hair

Ectopic pregnancy is clinically called ectopic pregnancy. Generally, you can wash your hair three days after ectopic pregnancy surgery, but it usually takes a week before you can take a shower. The specific time should be adjusted reasonably according to your personal constitution and recovery situation.

Ectopic pregnancy usually requires laparoscopic surgery to remove the fetal sac and its appendages. Since laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery with less damage, the recovery time is also relatively short. Generally, you can get up and move around the next day after surgery, and the abdominal pain will be greatly reduced in about three days, so you can usually wash your hair. However, it usually takes about a week for the abdominal wound to heal completely, and the wound cannot touch water within a week, so it usually takes a week before you can take a shower.

If your physical condition is abnormal, the postoperative pain lasts for a long time, or the wound heals poorly, becomes infected or cracked, you should be careful not to wash your hair or take a bath temporarily. You can only do so after the abdominal pain has basically disappeared and your body has basically recovered.

When washing your hair or taking a bath, be sure to note that the time should not be too long. It is recommended that it should not exceed ten minutes. The water temperature should be appropriate, not too cold or too hot. If you feel unwell, you can ask family members or caregivers for help to avoid accidental injury.
