Patient's question:
My wife used to suffer from mild myocardial infarction and had to take medication every day. The doctor also said she couldn't have sexual intercourse at the time. After two years of effort, during recent prenatal check-ups, the doctor said her recovery was good and she should be fully recovered. Can they have sexual intercourse in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from a myocardial infarction has led to an increase in heart function. In daily life, it is important to moderately and confidently control some of your daily actions to prevent a recurrence of myocardial infarction. If a patient experiences symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, or confusion again, they should immediately stop sexual activity. Some advocate that for patients with coronary heart disease and angina, they can take nitroglycerin tablets 10 minutes before sexual activity to prevent the recurrence of angina.
