intercourse after surgery

intercourse after surgery

My wife had a surgery 4 weeks back,and got one of her ovaries removed since had a dermoid mass in it.
Its been a month and she seems recovering well.She will be taking LUPRON  injections one each month for next six months.
My question was is it safe to have intercourse  keeping in mind her surgery and the injection she takes .
Moreover our doctor said if you  have intercourse you need to apply contraceptions.For that will condoms be the right choice or as you advise?

Hello,

How does your wife feel?  If she had open surgery (laparotomy) I'd suggest waiting at least another two weeks.   If she had laparoscopic surgery then it is up to her.  

Condoms, used correctly are a fine choice of contraception.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
