Hi everyone , just wondering if any of yous could answer my question. Im wondering how long yous waited after having a LLETZ procedure to go swimming or even have a quick soak in the bath tub ? Im 2 weeks post LLETZ under GA , Thankz in advance xx
Hi @Tracy
General advice is to wait upto 4 weeks or until the after effects (discharge, bleeding etc) have subsided before we can do these things
"What can and can’t I do after LLETZ?
You may have some physical effects after LLETZ. These usually last up to 4 weeks. Until these have stopped, it is best to avoid:
- tampons or menstrual cups – you can use a period pad instead
- penetrative vaginal sex – including fingers, tongues and other objects
- heavy exercise that causes you to sweat, such as running or a gym workout
- swimming
- long baths – you can continue to shower as normal."

Hiya @Tinkerbelle29 , thanks for the info lovely. I know what was recommended im kind wondering has anyone been able to before the 4 weeks or even if the discharge / bleeding has stopped have they still waited the 4 weeks. Im a big bath lover & its really getting to me that i cant have a soak. It was my escape if ya know what i mean.
But thanks so much again for your reply & the info you shared xx
