A member asked:
I had an laparoscopic appendectomy. can i travel by plane in 5 weeks and can i have sex also after 5-6 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes to both: By five weeks after laparoscopic appendectomy, assuming it was uneventful and you are feeling well, should allow you to travel by plane and re-engage in sexual activity. You may still be sore, so take it easy. Also if the plane ride is over a few hours, make sure you get up and walk to decrease the risk of blood clots.
