Post-Surgery Recovery Tips

Follow wound care instructions exactly

Keep the surgical site clean and dry. Change dressings as instructed. Watch for redness, swelling, or discharge.

Walk as soon as the surgeon allows

Early mobilisation prevents blood clots, improves digestion, and speeds recovery. Short walks every 2-3 hours.

Eat high-protein foods for healing

Include eggs, dal, chicken, paneer, and milk. Protein is essential for wound healing and tissue repair.

Don't lift heavy objects for the advised period

Premature heavy lifting after abdominal surgery can cause hernia or wound breakdown.

Take pain medications as prescribed, not just when severe

Staying ahead of pain helps you move, breathe deeply, and recover faster.

Attend all follow-up appointments

Post-operative check-ups catch complications early — don't skip them even if you feel fine.

Based on public health guidelines. Consult your doctor before making health changes.
