Morning, I had a stereotactic breast biopsy last Wednesday (13/10). It seeks to be healing ok (no scab). I just wondered when it would be safe for me to start swimming again please?
thanks Mickey

Hello again,
Broad NHS guidance suggests not to swim until the wound is completely healed. So this would be around 7 days after a breast biopsy.
It is a shame that the hospital did not provide you with a patient information sheet following the procedure.
So, I hope that this helps,
Best wishes,
Vanda
Thank you Vanda, I'm really surprised I wasn't given anything either. Thank you for coming back to me again.
