Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your problem.

Since complete recovery from this procedure usually takes about 3 weeks.

Avoid intercourse till complete healing has taken place.
Orgasm by other ways besides vaginal intercourse is also not advisable.
Keep the wound clean and dry hence swimming is not advisable.
Wear loose cotton undergarments.

Besides the above, resume regular/daily activities as early as possible. This helps in healing & a faster recovery

Hope to have answer your query.
A feedback is appreciated.
