Question 1

how long do you have to wait after a salpingo oophorectomy to have sex?

Accepted Answer

4-6 weeks: Typically women can resume all "normal" actvities in about 4-6 weeks.  Remember that if both ovaries are removed, the sudden drop in homones can result in fairly abrupt vaginal dryness....

Question 2

i had a salping oophorectomy laproscopically done a week ago.  i feel good.  is it ok to have sex again?

Accepted Answer

Just Be Careful: Although sex in and of itself will not hurt you, it is important that you heal from your incisions. You may want to give it another week. It's not worth the risk of hurting  yourself while you're healing.

Question 3

how long after a salpingo oophorectomy can a woman have sex?

Accepted Answer

Depends on patient: If your procedure was done laparoscopically, you may feel comfortable resuming sex in a week or two.  If you had an open procedure with a larger incision, you may need to wait 4-6 weeks.

Question 4

two weeks ago i got a bilateral salpingectomy and unilateral oophorectomy. my dr said sex can wait a couple more weeks or if i decide to now, just be gentle. but what about orgasms without penetration? are those safe to do without risk of injury?

Accepted Answer

Generally ok: Masturbation is generally safe after this type of surgery, but of course, you will want to verify with the doctor who performed your surgery and knows exactly what procedures were done.

Question 5

how soon can i have sex after having a salpingo oopherectomy? and pain in bellybutton during urinating after oopherectomy

Accepted Answer

6 weeks ?: Your doctor will tell you when you can resume sexual activity during your first follow-up visit after surgery , it is probably 6 weeks after the surgery. Contact your doctor for the pain after voiding it could be due to UTI or complication of the surgery or just normal pain not unexpected after this kind of surgery.

Question 6

i had a salpingo oopherectomy hysterectomy robotically 15 days ago due to polyps &  pcosi returned to work on day 13 and i feel fine.  can i have sex?

Accepted Answer

Ask surgeon: It's great that you are already feeling so well but you still have a lot of healing to do on the inside. This is too early to resume sexual activity. Ask your surgeon when it will be safe when you are seen for your next post-op visit. Hope this helps.

Question 7

i underwent bilateral oophorectomy because of my dermoid cysts. am i still able to reach climax during sex?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Removal of ovaries will not affect your orgasm. 
Given your young age you may need hormone replacement. Please consult your gynecologist for your continuing care.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine
