Post-Endometrial Biopsy: When Can You Swim?

No, you should not swim after an endometrial biopsy.

An endometrial biopsy is a procedure in which a small sample of tissue is taken from the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. This procedure can cause vaginal bleeding and cramping, and it is important to avoid any activities that could increase the risk of infection or further bleeding. Swimming in a public pool or any body of water can increase your risk of infection and should be avoided for at least 24 hours after an endometrial biopsy.

You should also avoid the following activities for at least 24 hours after an endometrial biopsy:

* Using tampons

* Having sexual intercourse

* Douching

* Taking a bath

* Using hot tubs or saunas

* Doing any strenuous exercise

If you have any questions or concerns about what activities you should avoid after an endometrial biopsy, be sure to talk to your doctor.
