Hi I’m just after some advice on having a bath after vaginal hysterectomy & prolapse repair as I don’t have a shower, I’m only having a small bath each day as I would feel unclean. Any advice welcome thank you kerry xx

Hi I am waiting for my hyster and what I have read says no baths as you need to let the wounds heal including the one at the top of your vagina. The doc/nurse should examine you to give the all clear. Can you stand/sit in bath and wash or get one of those showers that fit on the taps? Not brilliant however just a temp fix. Too hot, hope you are healing well. Xx
