A member asked:
Can you go swimming with a suprapubic catheter? (8ish weeks post op) are there any risks swimming in a normal public pool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Do not swim with a suprapubic catheter unless and until approved by the doctor managing the catheter. I suspect the answer is no.
