sex after TLH - cuff concerns
I've read the posts and can imagine everyone else is highly concerned about returning to intercourse. Even those that waited 6-8 wks can tear thru the cuff. I read that laproscopic formation of the cuff leads to more of these occurrences because its using a magnifier to access the area for creating the cuff. less tissue is touched so therefore, the cuff is not as "robust".
certainly waiting a full 8 wks would be best, but is there an ideal amt of time? such as 6 mos? in other words, are there reports of women tearing the cuff after 6 mos or longer? or can we be assured that at some point, it will certainly be healed.

Re: sex after TLH
I had TLH 3 weeks ago, my surgeon told me I had to wait 4 weeks from my surgical date. After reading a few things, I'm anxious as well.

Re: sex after TLH
This is my concern as well. I have read in here so many women that eben after months of waiting still have tear up their cuff. I'm afraid that even after the doctor clears me, which would be when I go in two weeks, I won't dare to do it and the worst part is that I have always been a very sexually active woman, this depresses me as well.
Good luck to you all and please share your experiences.
Thank you,

Re: sex after TLH
I am 8 weeks post op tomorrow. I was cleared for sex a week ago. The first time, I was sore and tender. It's gotten better and better every single time.
While there is a risk of vaginal tear for longer than 7 weeks, that risk is minimal. I am enjoying myself!
