Yes, it is possible to get an infection while taking a shower with an IV and a stomach port. Water can introduce bacteria into the body through these access points, especially if they are not properly covered or cared for. To minimize the risk, it is crucial to keep the IV and port clean and dry, and to follow your healthcare provider's guidelines on showering with these devices. Always consult your medical team for personalized advice.
