What should be paid attention to in postoperative care after vaginal reconstruction surgery?
Disease description:
A friend recently underwent vaginal reconstruction surgery at the hospital. I went to visit him there, so I'd like to inquire about what should be paid attention to in postoperative care after vaginal reconstruction.

Dr. Li Fengyong
After vaginal reconstruction surgery, postoperative care requires attention to hygiene and keeping the external genitalia clean and dry. The area can be washed with water to prevent bacterial infection. Meanwhile, patients need to remain strictly bedridden for one week and may use antibiotics as prescribed by a doctor to prevent infection. Additionally, patients should avoid sexual intercourse for at least two months after surgery to prevent adverse effects.
