Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Hi Ladies- Well, it is now 9 days post-lap/hyst and SU resection. I feel great (except I've caught a cold), swelling is down, very little pain at incision sights, still spotting only a tiny bit (brown not red), started working out again yesterday. Here's my question...for those of you who had a resection, when was it okay to have intercourse again? DH is being very patient, although I am getting pretty impatient about it myself. However, his 40th birthday is on Sunday. and it sure would be nice to celebrate in every way possible.;-) I suppose I could call my RE's office, but I am afraid they are going to say wait 2 weeks. And, my post-op appointment is not until Monday. What do you ladies think? Aleida 34, SU resected 8/26/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Hi Aleida, Sorry about the cold, hope it's nothing too bad. Well, happy bday to your DH. 4-0 is a big one!! Sure would be nice to celebrate it properly ;-) " Wait 2 weeks " seems to be a standard answer from docs after surgery. This is just my unconventional advice, but I didn't " obey " this rule toward the end of the 2 weeks because I was feeling better. It didn't seem to be a problem for me, and emotionally it made me feel better to romp around w/ dh. I say go for it! Glad that you are recovering so well from the surgery.

I would check with your RE. My DH is celebrating his 39th b- day on Friday! SU resected, bicollis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Hi Aleida - They told me that when I stopped bleeding from the sx, I could resume normal sexual activity. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Hi Aleida, My doctor recommended " pelvic rest " (aka, no sex) for the rest of the cycle. Based on when I had my resection, that was a bit over 2 weeks.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Well, can't really help ya there, but the others seem to. But couldn't resist teasing ya though...what the heck are they giving you to be this way?! lol You are so full of energy (well sounds like it), and now this? hehe I'm dreaded my recovery due to the fact I don't deal with the gen. anth. very well...let alone the gas they pump into you. Happy Bday to your hubby and hope you are able to celebrate it the way you would like, in every way! ;-) Hugs, Nikki T. 28, SU > Hi Ladies- > > Well, it is now 9 days post-lap/hyst and SU resection.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Aleida, I know what you mean- my RE told me 3 weeks and it was a LONG 3 weeks. I also caught a cold post lap/hyst...... Well, My RE told me 3 weeks, and we broke down at 2 1/2. I have to say I was pretty sore during, and very sore the next day.I wondered if I had hurt something, but then it seemed like I was sore during and after for a few weeks every time. I did have endo though, and that really added to my pain post op- lost of brusing on the left side where the endo was more prevelant. If your RE didn't instruct you, I'd say maybe they aren't so strict about it. I would call just in case. You'd be at almost 2 weeks though, and I think I've heard some say two weeks is ok. I'd say just be really careful and " gentle " with your body if you do..... Angie > > > Hi Ladies- > > > > Well, it is now 9 days post-lap/hyst and SU resection.
