A member asked:
Can you bathe after a hydrocele operation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not immediately: Best to wait a few days & then shower rather than bathe. However, if u really feel need to shower then wrap a large plastic garbage bag around your waist like a skirt. This will get your genitalia from getting wet. In any case always best to consult your surgeon about what u should or should not do post-operatively.
