Swimming/Bathing with PD

Post a new topicby Guest on Wed Feb 26, 2003 11:51 pm

Does anyone know if you are allowed to go swimming or take a soak bath while on PD? Currently I have a temporary catheter and am on Hemo and I am not allowed to get my access wet.

No you can NOT .. because of the risk of infection. They tell you to have showers instead. If you want to swim you must cover the "exit site"
