A member asked:
Is there any reason to have concerns if i had sex 1 week after a vaginal hysterectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: 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. Call your doctor if you have any bleeding or discharge. Wait to have sex until you've gotten clearance from your doctor - it can take up to 6 weeks to heal completely.
