A member asked:
What effect does a heart stent have on your sex life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sex is an exercise: Generally, if you’re recovering from a heart attack, doctors advise waiting two weeks before engaging in intercourse, which is considered mild to moderate exercise. Raking leaves, walking a couple flights of stairs, or walking 18 holes while playing golf is moderate exercise. If you can comfortably tolerate this level of activity, then you are most likely physically ready for sex.
