During front and rear perineal hygiene, standing is recommended to avoid excessive rotation. You may find pre-moisten wipes are beneficial; just remember to discard in the garbage for plumbing concerns. If you are having continued difficulty with limited reach or satisfactory hygiene, toilet aides are a safe alternative. Ask your therapist for details.
Please note: These guidelines are specific to surgical approaches and should be approved by your surgeon prior to use for your optimal safety.
