Hello has anyone gone back to swimming soon after robotic ? I am 7 weeks post op and they said I can go at 8 weeks I love swimming but I am worried if it’s safe the Drs said it is but I feel strange going when it’s so fragile down below, I am having bracytherapy soon and don’t think I can go after that for 6 weeks I think they said thanks
Hi Shirleydana
I would check with the radiotherapists when you go for your brachytherapy appointment just to be on the safe side.
I hope that you are recovering well from the surgery.

Hi Shirleydana , swimming is a wonderful way to keep fit and i am glad you love it so much. I agree 100% with jane2511 its better to seek advice from your team. I love swimming too although not done much lately as i was picking up a lot of UTI infections which unfortunately i am prone too although the medication i take now seems to really help reduce them touch wood, so i hope to get back to swimming soon too. This is another reason to be careful as your healing from surgery and having treatments to come. Although my surgery was a little bit of both open and laposcopic ( which i cant seem to spell sorry) but i did wait over 6 months before swimming not sure why as i healed well and water supports your body so much but i was like you concerned about being fragile down there with healing especially the internal stitches, so definitely best to ask about it and i send my best wishes on your healing up after surgery. I hope you get the go ahead soon to do something you enjoy so much this all helps our healing and wellbeing.
sending gentle bear hugs
