how soon after surgery can i have sex?



Recommended Posts

All depends on how you feel. My surgeon said as soon as I felt up to it. My surgery was open, I went back to work after two weeks and I believe it was about two weeks for my hubby and I.

You can have sex when you are comfortable enough to do so. They say to be very gentle though and not to do anything too wild haha. Also it is important that you use birth control because you become very fertile after surgery. My doctor recommended not to plan pregnancy until at least 18 months past surgery date. Generally, I think it's about a year at least. If you become pregnant earlier, it can cause complications.

I am a month out and I still haven't had sex, my poor husband. I haven't for 3 reasons...1 I'm terrified I will hurt since I still have some discomfort, 2 I have now been on my period (first one in 17months) for almost 2 weeks, & 3 I'm scared I'll get pregnant. My surgeon says not to get pregnant for 18-24months because there could be some complications.

Agreed, I don't remember how long We waited but we just took it slow and steady to be sure it wouldn't be uncomfortable. As everyone said, be super careful and protected !

Just as soon as you're comfortable. My husband and I were together maybe 3 days later. Just be sure to be gentle

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
