Clitoris and clitoral hood - Aftercare
The operation will not affect your daily routine for very long. The first night after the operation is usually accompanied by a burning sensation and some pain, which will be perceived differently. However, this will have subsided significantly on the following day or might have disappeared altogether. From the third day onwards, you can have sitz baths with chamomile, and from the fourth day you can have a shower again. Please do not use any soap or shower gel for a week.
You should wait for at least four weeks after the operation before you have intercourse again. The wounds will have healed, but can still be a little bit fragile. Before this time has elapsed, the wounds may reopen during strong mechanical exposure . As the scar is outside of the "area of friction", this does not affect intercourse in any way. Mechanical strains, which occur for example when exercising sports like horse riding, cycling or jogging, are not recommended during the first four weeks.
During the first two weeks after the operation, you should not use tampons, but sanitary pads during your menstrual period.
