Hi All
I had a RP surgery last week and since than I didn't take a shower.
I wonder that how soon it's safe to take a shower after the operation
Thank you all in advance for your answers

Hi
you will be able to shower no problem. I was showering the day after my operation.

Yes, I had a couple of very careful showers with the catheter on.
Hygiene and not pulling is very important round the catheter. I never touched it without a hand wash and regular clean clothes and clean private towel.
I was advised to shower every day following my surgery. Just take your time moving about and don't rush, its important to clean around the catheter area and use clean towels etc. The bag and tapes that attach it to your leg may get wet but soon dry.
