Patient's question:
More than a week has passed since the surgery. Can we have sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that surgical wounds generally heal within about a week, and sexual activity can be resumed around a month later, with the condition that erection should not be painful. This also varies from person to person. After surgery, loose underwear should be worn, and care should be taken not to wet the gauze during urination. Swelling for 3 to 7 days post-surgery is a normal phenomenon. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, wear loose underwear, and avoid getting the wound wet to prevent infection. In case of an infection, it is important to promptly visit the hospital for a check-up.
