Question: How long should a bandage be kept on after having umbilical hernia surgery!?
My three yr old just had surgery and the doctor requested that he should remove the bandage, however the appointment set for this is in three weeks!. Is this normal!? I am concerned about her wearing the same bandage for three weeks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Your doctor has probably placed the bandage as a form of force against where the hernia was!. He's looking to prevent anything exerting pressure on the incision so that the it heals wells!. So yes it is normal and nothing to worry about!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
