Can you shower after a D and C?

After a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure, it is generally advisable to wait at least 24 hours before showering to allow your body some time to recover. However, many doctors recommend avoiding baths, swimming, or using tampons for at least two weeks to reduce the risk of infection. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions for post-procedure care. If you have any concerns or questions, it's best to consult your doctor.
