Hello, I just had a gallbladder surgery and I was wondering when can I safely resume sexual activities?
Hello, as much as recovery is individualistic, it's normally advisable to hold off on strenuous activities, including sexual intercourse, for about two weeks after the surgery. This gives your body enough time to heal properly.
But what if I don't feel any pain?
Even if you don't feel pain, your body may still be healing. Performing strenuous activities could cause internal wound complications, even if you feel fine. It's always best to follow the recommended recovery timeline and confirm with your surgeon when you can start engaging in such activities again.
What signs should I look for to know that I'm ready?
Generally, if you no longer feel any pain and your energy levels are back to normal, it might be a sign that you're ready. However, it's crucial to verify with your healthcare provider before resuming sexual activities after any form of surgery to reduce the chances of complications.
