A member asked:
Had a vaginal hysterectomy a week ago and since my iud was removed i was extremely horney. what will happen if u have sex a week after surgery?

Can do harm: Sex so soon after a vaginal hysterectomy might disrupt the sutures at the apex of your vagina, and it also might increase the risk of infection after surgery. Wait to have penetrating intercourse until you've gotten clearance from your doctor - it can take up to 6 weeks to heal completely. In the meantime, you can make love without any penetration (touching externally, or oral).
