Hi Faughil and thank you for your post.
I am sorry to hear that you had to undergo a LLETZ procedure.
We have information on aftercare on our website that you may find helpful to read.
Most literature states that you can go swimming two weeks after your LLETZ procedure, while others recommend waiting 2-4 weeks to reduce the risk of infection.
Timelines primarily serve as a guide. It is advisable to approach each day individually and listen to your body and overall well-being. Additionally, it is important to consult with your GP or hospital specialist for further guidance.
I hope this information is useful.
Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Kind regards
Tina
