A member asked:

Will having a hip replacement result in problems in my sexual life?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No Sex Problems: No, total hip replacement does not normally cause problems with sex life (that is if you didn't have them prior). Actually, with less pain in the hip it could make it better.

NO: You will be able to resume a sexual life. However, there are some precautions that will need to followed. Please discuss acceptable positions for sex after hip replacement. Aaos.Com is another source of information regarding sexual positions after hip replacement.
