A member asked:

Is two weeks after surgery too early to have vaginal intercourse after a supracervical hysterectomy?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: It is best to wait 4-6 weeks till everything is well healed and your gyn doctor gives the OK.

Ask your surgeon: I do not know if you have had your follow up appointment or not, but I would probably stay away from sexual activity till then. Or I would hold off till he or she gives you the OK.
