To or not to have sex? 7 weeks post hysterectomy.
*7 weeks post op tomorrow*
Sorry long post but dont want to miss anything
I had to get rescheduled for my 8 week appointment to yesterday (1 week earlier) due to scheduling. She said my cuff was healing great and gave me clearance on my restrictions and to just listen to my body HOWEVER she wanted me wait 2 more weeks for intercourse. I kind of questioned her about it (more a really/seriously? Lol) and she changed her mind and said I can try but if any pain at all to stop.
Im really nervous about my cuff and if something goes wrong then back to day 1 of recovery.
HELP LADIES...if you have cuff, when did you have sex? Do I go for it? Or follow her 1st orders of wait 2 more weeks? 9 weeks just seemed like a long time! Nervous bc being like a virgin (down there lol TMI) im going to have some pain/discomfort so will I be able to tell the difference if something isnt right?
FYI: I do still have some pain (stabbing vaginal pain) when I lift/sit too long but she said its the nerves and will take months for them to adjust. Other than that no pain/spotting for the past 2 weeks.
laparoscopic (3 incisions- pulled through vaginally) took uterus and cervix, leaving both ovaries and did some cauterizing on both ovaries (sorry unsure what the abbreviation would be?) due to hyperplasia, fibroids and constant bleeding for 2 years (60+ days bleed,3-5 days off and bleeding again)

Re: To or not to have sex? 7 weeks post hysterectomy.
After examining you, she said to wait another two week. Even though she changed that recommendation after you questioned it, I think I would wait the two weeks. I would treat it as "insurance", just giving the cuff a bit longer to strengthen. We all heal at different rates, and just because Patient A got the green light at 6 weeks, and Patient B at 8 weeks, I would follow my doctor's own doctor's instructions. Even though she said you could try now, I think I would go with her original advice.
