    Is it safe to swim 2 weeks after a colposcopy/biopsy?
    Recently had a colposcopy and the doctor took a sample of cells. Was only told to avoid tampons and not to have intercourse for 4 weeks. Is it safe to swim?

    Pool, ocean, lake?

    Given how much bacteria is in bath water, I wouldn't even do that and only have showers for a while.
