" I wouldnt take a bath just yet. You might want to ask your Dr. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy ovarys removed and I felt the same way when I was in the shower. I got really dizzy and almost fell a couple times. I made sure I had some one in the bathroom with me while I took a shower. I was told no showers because of a chance for infection. Good Luck!! "
