  • This question “comes up” all the time. I think the best response I have read is that generally they prefer you to wait until you are home from hospital

  • With another person ?

    My plan is very strict about this. It is 4 weeks out and even then have to be careful.

As soon as you feel ready!

I would def wait a little while, you do not want to get caught up in the moment and cause any leaks or anything from being too erm 'vigorous' :D, also definitely ask your surgeon just in case they have strict guidelines :)

LOL

Lol on my post op instructions it says "very gentle sexual intercourse"

it’s fine after 3-4 weeks post op you can be on top to control the weight places on you and if your doing another position on all fours I tend to place a very soft small pillow to avoid pressure or rubbing. Just be safe, enjoy and no babies!!

I had no restrictions on sex after surgery! Topic never even came up. I think I was about a month out though my first time post op.
