First, under normal circumstances, the patient can be discharged one week after the "valve replacement" operation. After returning home, patients generally need to rest for 3 to 6 months. Three months after operation is an important stage to recover the surgical trauma and stabilize the functions of various systems and organs. During this period, patients should have a full rest to avoid catching a cold.

Second: the patient can take a shower 2 weeks after the operation. When taking a bath, the patient should pay attention to avoid getting cold, and do not rub the wound. After taking a bath, the patient should use disinfectant to clean the wound. If you find abnormal symptoms such as exudation, redness and swelling, you should go to the hospital immediately.
