A member asked:
I had a hysterectomy six weeks ago. my stitches haven't dissolved all the way. can i still have sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Some doctors recommend waiting 8 weeks before resuming relations. You should probably ask your doctor. If you have sex, the sutures could cause you some pain and / or bleeding and would possibly increase the risk of infection.
