How Long Post Flap Advancement Can Intercourse Be Resumed?
Hi I had a flap advancement done 2 weeks in a half.. I wanted to know when is it best for me to resume sex with my husband... I m kinda scared cause I had sex once after the surgery but it was 2 weeks exact and I feel great ... I only have discomfort when I poop. Please help my worries...
i think there is nothing to worry about ,however it is advisable to wait for at least 4 weeks and avoid intercourse before this period avoid lifting heavy objects and strenuous activities for 6 weeks.
also some amount of discomfort will remain which will subside slowly follow-up for 3 to 4 weeks after surgery is recommended
please let me know if this was helpful , also feel free to ask for any further queries.
