Is Intercourse Advisable Post A Gangrene Removal Surgery In Lower Abdomen?

Hello I have recently had surgery to remove gangrene from my lower stomach after I had an emergency c section. I now have an open wound with a vacuum dressing. I am wondering if it is dangerous to have sex while having the vacuum in. My wound is 26cm long and 4cm high and 3.5cm deep.

dear
as rightly anticipated intercourse might be a cause of your delay healing as the wound ll be facing a bit strain and stress.
Actual fact is that it is not the intercourse but the physical stress during the intercourse whch will cause a stress.
hence plase wait for some time till the wound heals in lower abdomen.
hope this helps
most welcome for further queries
