Question 1

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 2

is it safe for a man with spinal cord injury to have sex?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes: Usually yes...He general rule is if it hurts, find a different position.  A good supportive bed is probably a good idea a well.  If you are seeing a spine surgeon, they usually have hand-outs on this information including positions to try.

Question 3

is it safe to have sex 2 1/2 weeks after orchiopexy, given no complications, infection or added injury during healing?

Accepted Answer

: It will take another 2 or 3 weeks to recover, as during sew the scrotal/testis area can get hurt by the motion.

Question 4

i suffered a head injury with concussion 11 days ago. most symptoms are gone except dizziness if i move too fast. is it safe to have sex ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, quite safe: You may be suffering from POSTCONCUSSIVE SYNDROME. Have you been examined/cleared by someone with experience in these matters? If not, I'd suggest you do. You may run into some issues down the line that later you'll forget could be related to this concussive event. Best to have a bit of a workup if you're still dizzy.  And yes, it's safe to have sex.

Question 5

is it safe to have sex when you have an eye injury?

Accepted Answer

Depends on injury: If you have a hyphema or bleeding in the eye or a traumatic posterior vitreous detachment you need rest - not sexual activity.  We get concerned about rebleeding in injury and sexual activity opens the possibility of eye trauma (it usually is shielded post injury) and increased blood pressure.  Wait until you're healed then have fun!

Question 6

how can i keep my child safe from injury in traffic?

Accepted Answer

What kind?: If you mean keep your child safe while he is a passenger in a car, always use a age and weight/ height appropriate car seat. The same goes for instance if you ride a bike and you go for a ride with your child.

Question 7

how many injections are safe  for a disc injury in  back?

Accepted Answer

This depends: Your pain management specialist should be able to answer this depending on the site of the injection and the type of medication.

Question 8

how many hours of vocal/singing practice is safe? by safe i mean strained vocal chord, vocal injury and practice that is in harmony with our body. i know professionals practice a lotttt, but is it really safe? where to draw the line?

Accepted Answer

: The idea is to sing and not shout. A skilled politition can talk forever without injuring vocal cords. If your throat starts to feel sore, stop for a while and have some warm tea or water. Professional opera singers use their voices carefully and can get through a long opera with good technique. ( I am a singer myself.)

Question 9

i'm practicing yoga after a long hiatus. how do i determine a safe stretch for my body? i've attended one class, so far, and until my flexibility increases, i want to avoid injury by stretching safely, but still achieve a productive stretch.

Accepted Answer

I : I recommend discussing this with your yoga teacher.  It is always safest to start slow and slowly increase your stretch over many days or weeks as you adjust to the stretch.  You want to avoid painful stretches to try to decrease chance of tearing soft tissues or injuring yourself. Good luck!

Question 10

safe to fly if you have a brain injury?

Accepted Answer

It depends: The main issue is how old is the brain injury - acute injuries are likely to be aggravated by flight as most planes require pressurization in the cabin which affects oxygen levels needed for healing. Chronic injuries are different. Also what kind of plane, what kind of injury. And i assume you mean as a passenger as flight regulations are very strict about pilot's health!
