Swimming after Tympanoplasty

2019-03-23 06:50:26
I had Tympanoplasty in 2014 and at that time doc advised me not to swim for lifetime. Should I follow that?? I had Tympanoplasty in in 2011 as well but it was a failure and later in 2014 I had sinus surgery, deviated nasal septum surgery and then Tympanoplasty. There was lot of infection in the ear as per doctor... My question is whether I can swim?

Usually, I advise them to use soft silicone putty earplugs during swimming and bathing. This is usually after 2 months of the surgery.
