I had sex 21 days after hysterectomy

Generally speaking, for patients who have undergone hysterectomy, it is not recommended to have sexual intercourse within three months after the operation, because it usually takes 6-8 weeks for the superficial pelvic tissue to recover after hysterectomy. It is best to do another B-ultrasound after the operation to make sure that the tissues in the pelvis have healed well before having sex. Next, let’s discuss whether it is okay to have sex 21 days after a hysterectomy?

It is not good to have sex 21 days after a hysterectomy. It is very harmful to the human body and requires strict attention.

If you have sex too soon after surgery, poor body recovery can easily lead to intrauterine infection and damage to the vagina and abdominal tissues. If you have already had sex, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up check on the condition of your uterus. If you experience fever, abdominal pain, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc., you should see a doctor immediately to avoid uterine cavity infection. During this period, you should also increase your nutritional intake, prohibit sitting baths and intercourse, avoid lifting objects exceeding 3KG, bending down to pick up and put down, and climbing stairs. Do not sit for long periods of time, walk long distances, and avoid doing exercises that easily increase abdominal pressure, so as not to cause rupture of pelvic capillaries.

You cannot have sex 21 days after a hysterectomy, because during this period, the sutures at the wound are generally not healed yet. Having sex may cause the wound to be damaged and the threads to fall off, resulting in cross-sectional bleeding. In severe cases, it may cause pelvic infection. If you have already had sex, you should pay attention to check whether there is any vaginal bleeding, and you should get enough rest. If there is bleeding, you should take blood-activating and anti-infective medication. It is strictly forbidden to have sexual intercourse within one month after total hysterectomy. You need to go to the hospital for a follow-up check one month later. You can have sexual intercourse only if the wound has healed well.
