Swimming at 5 weeks post op

Hello girls,

Just wanted to ask if anyone has gone swimming/ in pool water under 6 weeks post op? And if this has caused any side effects?

I am going on holiday tomorrow and saw a nurse today and they said they advise that I don’t go into the pool water until I am 6 weeks post op!

There’s a risk of infection they advise 6weeks to ensure all your scars in and out are fully healed xx

Swimming in the sea / pool/ jacuzzi/ steam and saunas …. Bacteria and water bourne viruses could enter through ur incisions…chlorine doesn’t negate cleanliness plus people do all sorts in a pool…like urinate etc..

Really not worth compromising ur surgery for a swim….besides if u do have an issue ur most likely gona foot the bill to correct it as the paperwork stipulates certain guidelines to follow.

All surgery is insured and guaranteed provided u follow the post op advice. Don’t mean to sound harsh but it’s not worth it hun fxx
