sex limits after Hysterectomy
I had a LSH & Oopherectomy a little over 3 weeks ago. I know with the removal of my uterus and ovaries that I have to wait until my 6 week post-op appointment to have sex (intercourse)...my question is can you have any other sexual activity as long as there is no penetration? I didn't know if an orgasm could possibly hurt/delay my recovery.
hmmmmm OH BOY.........I hope it doesn't hurt you, because I never asked and had to do SOMETHING......... No penetration, but SHOCKINGLY was ready at 2 weeks!!! I feel for ME.........this was a surgery to INCREASE SEX DRIVE. LOL I never would have guessed and "thought" I'd be broken. LOL But, just the OPPOSITE. HOPE I DIDN'T HURT MESELF. Trying to hold off and not do much, but boy oh boy........ LOL
Hi Jen,
You need to ask your doctor. If you are embarassed, just say...can I do other things except for intercourse? Will an orgasm hurt me?
I had a bladder sling last summer and couldn't have sex for a month. After the 2 week checkup, I was doing so well, my doctor said I could other sexual activity but NO penetration.
You've had a major operation and your body needs lots of rest. Let me repeat...LOTS OF REST. Do not push yourself. There is a bunch of internal healing going on. That's why they say 6 weeks. I think 3 weeks is way too soon.
I had a total hysterectomy 21 years ago so I know what it's like.
