Can I shower at home after prostate surgery?

Johns Hopkins Medicine answered:Yes, you can shower once you've returned home. Your wound sites can get wet, but must be patted dry. Tub baths can soak your incisions and therefore are not recommended in the first 2 weeks after surgery. You will have adhesive strips across your incisions. They will either fall off on their own or can be removed in approximately five to seven days.
