I had general surgery to repair an inguinal hernia on 4 Aug 2014. Today is Wed, 13 Aug. My question is, when can I have a sauna bath? I am concerned about high heat and bacteria getting into the incision. My doctor surgeon used the durobond type of dissolveable stitching.
Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! Generally speaking it takes 6 weeks for a surgical wound to heal completely. I would suggest seeing your doctor and asking him personally. This would also give him the opportunity to examine your wound and check if it has already closed completely. Chat Doctor.
