A member asked:
Can you go swimming with nexplanon implant? and if so, how long do you have to wait to go after having it fitted? thanks :-)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait 2-3 days: Wait atleast 2-3 days after insertion. Put a bandaid on it before going swimming. The incision for insertion is small but let it heal as best as possible before doing things that can get it infected
