Post Operative Question Answer

How long should I wait before using tampons or other vaginal products after the surgery?

Following the surgery, it is crucial to allow ample time for proper healing and recovery. I typically recommend waiting at least 6 to 8 weeks before using tampons or introducing any other vaginal products. This waiting period is essential to minimize the risk of infection and ensure optimal healing. It is crucial to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions, which will include specific guidelines for the use of tampons and other vaginal products. During this recovery period, it is important to maintain good hygiene by gently cleansing the surgical area as instructed by your surgeon. By following these guidelines, you can support a smooth and successful recovery and achieve the best possible outcomes.
