- Between three and five days before surgery, we recommend a daily shower with soap with a solution of 4% chlorhexidine, which can be found in pharmacies.
- Once at the hospital, we recommend asking anyone who treats you that you wash your hands in your presence.

His life is more important than a passing moment of shame.

That women have more migraines, depression and more suffering in them more often osteoarthritis of the knee and hip in them is no accident. The fact that gender differences are recognized in most diseases has been the biggest breakthrough of the last decade in women’s health.
