Spinal fusion: A better question for you might be: how long to wait before having sex after a spinal fusion surgery? Birth control matters mainly if you are sexually active. Spinal surgery requires care, rehab and continued vigilance afterwards. Please consult your surgeon for advise. There are specific sexual positions recommended for post spinal surgery patients which a physical therapist can teach.
