\nAfter each visit to the toilet, clean the labia minora with water and then dry with a tampon for 3 weeks.
\nDuring the first week, keep a compress in your underwear, as there is often slight bleeding during the first week.
\nDr. Lucas advises you to avoid wearing pants during the first week, to avoid maceration.
\nYou should always keep the surgical area dry, to avoid maceration, especially during the first 10 days.
\nPreventive antibiotic therapy for 3 days with Augmentin 1 g twice a day.

Complications:<\/h3>\n
– Infection, hematoma
\n– Bleeding: small amount, frequent in the first days.

\n– Necrosis of the mucosa: more common in patients who smoke.
\n– Decreased sensitivity: often temporary, may last a few weeks.<\/p>\n
