During the recovery period after vaginoplasty, it is generally recommended to avoid swimming and soaking in a bathtub for a certain period of time. Immersion in water, whether in a pool or bathtub, can increase the risk of infection and interfere with the healing process. It is important to follow your surgeon’s specific post-operative instructions, which may include avoiding water activities for a few weeks to allow the surgical site to heal properly. Your surgeon will provide you with clear guidelines regarding when it is safe to resume these activities.
