Good hygiene habits can reduce the incidence of peritonitis, but due to the fact that the patient's abdominal wall is equipped with dialysis pipes, certain methods are still needed to clean the body.
No bathing is allowed within 1 month after the tube is planted. The body can be cleaned by wiping with a towel or washing without body cleaner to avoid wetting the wound and dressing.
After 1 month of tube implantation, if the wound is well healed, you can take a shower. It is forbidden to take a bath in the tub. When taking a bath, the outer mouth and the dialysis tube should be sealed and fixed with a special bath film (large 3M film) or protective bag (disposable anal bag for surgery). The bath time is not easy to be too long. After taking a bath, you must take care of the outer mouth.
Tips:
Each bathing time: the bathing time should not be too long, and the bathing time should be 15-30 minutes to prevent cardiocerebral hypoxia and ischemia.
Bathing frequency: The frequency of bathing is too high, especially the frequent use of bath gel or soap will inevitably damage the oil layer, cause dry skin, itching and other symptoms, and easily lead to premature aging of skin. Because the elderly have dry skin and less sebum secretion, they should try to reduce the number of showers, especially in dry autumn and winter, and wash once every two or three days. At the same time, they should not use or use less bath cleaning products, and it is best to wash with water.
What should not take a bath? You should not take a bath when you are full and hungry. You should not take a bath after drinking. Do not bathe immediately after work. You should not take a bath when your blood pressure is too low. Don't take a bath when you have a fever. It is better not to take a bath during the acute development of the disease.
