Question 3

Accepted Answer

Doctors Instructions: It is best to follow your doctors instructions so that you may heal completely. Whether anyone on this site tells their patients differently is beside the point.  Your doctor knows your case and from his or her experience and professional judgement that is what s/he feels is in your best interest.  If you choose not to follow the advice given then the potential consequences are on you.

Question 4

i have c-section and tubal ligation for a month is it safe to have sex?

Accepted Answer

No: It is better to wait 8 weeks to prevent obtaining a hernia. Some might say 6 weeks but better safe than sorry!

Question 5

it's been 5 days since i had a tubal ligation is it safe to have sex? and should i use perfection & for how long ?

Accepted Answer

Postop instruction: You will need to check with your surgeon. Most advise two weeks after laparoscopic surgery. Once the tubal ligation is done fertility is stopped. The issue is postop recovery not pregnancy.

Question 6

it's been two weeks sense my tubal ligation, and it still hurts to have sex. should i see a doctor? or can this be normal?

Accepted Answer

Surgeon check up: You need to follow up with the surgeon who did the tubal ligation to be certain that there is no evidence of infection or other problems with an appointment.

Question 7

is it safe to have sex 3 weeks after c-section and tubal ligation?

Accepted Answer

Questionable: It is "safe" in the sense that you probably wont become pregnant from the experience:-) Could cause some pain and possibly an ascending infection in the uterus. Sex happens frequently but the infection risk is rare.  However, I do think the risk benefit ratio falls in favor of abstinence till after 4 weeks minimum and 6 weeks preferably.

Question 8

had baby 9 months ago-then tubal ligation 4 m ago. just recently-every time i have sex i bleed bright red blood and have cramps in my pubic bone lasts a few hours and next day i will have bloody discharge. what is this and is this normal? no stds?

Accepted Answer

: It is difficult to know what is going on in this scenario without a detailed history and physical exam. You should make a follow-up appointment at your OB/GYN physician. Good luck.

Question 9

when could you have intercourse after tubal ligation surgery?

Accepted Answer

After recovering: Once you recover adequately from the surgical procedure, you should be able to resume sexual intercourse. Your doctor will advise you of that timing.

Question 10

hi have had a tubal ligation three years ago.  i have been bleeding pretty bad after intercourse in the three years it has gotten worse, ?

Accepted Answer

Tubal ligation: You cycles have returned to what they would naturally be without hormone manipulation. Bleeding after intercourse, however, needs to be investigated. You should see your gynecologist.
