How long after percutaneous intervention for lung cancer can I take a shower? Generally about three days

Patients undergoing percutaneous interventional treatment usually need about 3 days before they can take a bath. During hospitalization, it is not recommended for patients to take a bath to avoid wound infection.

Lung cancer is a very harmful disease and is fatal to the patient's health. So, how long after percutaneous interventional treatment of lung cancer can the patient take a shower?
When lung cancer patients receive percutaneous interventional treatment, the wound is relatively small and this type of surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, which usually does not induce obvious complications, so patients generally do not need to receive special care.
However, generally speaking, it is not recommended for patients to take a bath during hospitalization, otherwise it may cause wound infection. After all, percutaneous interventional treatment will also leave wounds. During the recovery period of hospitalization, doctors usually need to conduct strict observation to prevent accidents.
Generally speaking, after percutaneous interventional treatment, if there is no bleeding at the puncture point, the patient can take a bath three days later. However, if there is bleeding, it is not recommended for the patient to take a bath to avoid wound infection.
It should be noted that although percutaneous interventional treatment is relatively safe, it does not rule out the possibility of adverse symptoms such as pneumothorax. Therefore, it is recommended to observe closely and report any problems to the doctor in a timely manner.
