What are Dilation and curretage rules on swimming?

Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a procedure to remove tissue from the lining of the uterus. It is often used to diagnose and treat abnormal uterine bleeding, miscarriage, or retained products of conception.

Swimming is a physical activity that involves moving through water using your arms and legs.

There are no specific rules about swimming after a D&C. However, your doctor may advise you to avoid swimming for a certain period of time to allow your body to heal. This is especially important if you have had any complications from the procedure, such as bleeding or infection.

In general, it is recommended that you wait at least 24 hours after a D&C before swimming. This will give your body time to start the healing process. You should also avoid swimming in pools or other bodies of water that may contain bacteria, as this could increase your risk of infection.

If you are unsure about whether or not it is safe for you to swim after a D&C, talk to your doctor.

Here are some additional tips for swimming after a D&C:

* Start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts.

* Listen to your body and stop if you experience any pain or discomfort.

* Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids before, during, and after your workout.

* Avoid swimming in cold water, as this can cause muscle cramps.

* Wear a swimsuit that fits snugly to help protect your incision.

* Avoid using tampons or menstrual cups while swimming, as this could increase your risk of infection.

By following these tips, you can help reduce your risk of complications and enjoy swimming safely after a D&C.
