How long should you wait to have or try to have sex after surgery?

You should ask your doctor, but my guess is that if you are well enough to ask this question, you are good to go.

A very relevant question. I haven't had the guts to ask myself. Has anyone asked their doctor, and what was the reply?

Kenneth,
    I was told to avoid chandeliers.  Just kidding.  I did not ask.  I did complain once that my feeding tube was not very sexy.

Hey, a question I have definitive response for! When I was released at the end of my two week stay in ICU, I was told "three weeks before engaging in any sexual activity to avoid creating pressure in your head."

Now, whether or not that is anything more than my doctor's judgment and recommendation, I don't know.

Got an answer from my doc who said it would be "ok" as long as you don't over do it.

Figured Lori and kaybo would have fun with this one.   I do think these girls need to do a standup routine at the next seminar.  They are natural born comedians, and I do mean this as a compliment, girls...really.     

Good question...never saw it on here before...to be back on topic....
