See how you feel: If you are not bleeding, swollen, and feeling good, get after it 24 hours after surgery. If you are recovering i would recommend giving it a few days, do not over exert yourself if you are not feeling 100%.

Sex: No waiting period for sex however foreplay like passionate kissing i would wait 2-3 days because any action that causes negative pressure(sucking thru a straw, spitting out hard, smoking) will cause loss of the clot;not good and painful.
