Swimmingpool...infection?

Postby vonLuger » Tue Jul 07, 2026 5:22 pm

I had an AMS 700 LGX implant placed on April 21st of this year.
Unfortunately, a leak was detected six weeks later, and my revision surgery is scheduled for July 14th.

This timing is very inconvenient with my annual vacation. My question is: How long after the revision surgery do I need to wait before it is completely safe to use my private swimming pool without any risk of infection?
47 years old, struggling with ED since 10 years, got the AMS 700 LGX 21cm with 2cm RTE in April 2026. Pre OP length 17cm, post OP 14,5cm

Sorry for the early leak, VonLuger and good luck with your upcoming revision. My team advised 6 weeks if the incision is 100% closed. For earlier clearance, they advised physician’s exam of the incision and approval.
