A member asked:
I just had surgery a week ago for a pilonidal cyst on my tailbone and have an open healing wound and wanted to know if sex can delay the healing process?

Well : Ask your surgeon for limitations on activities. Sexual activity involving penis or vagina should not delay healing. Anal sexual activity is not advised until more complete healing after surgery
