Pain during intercourse
Hi . I am post op 3 weeks this coming Thursday and was wondering if it is normal to have a heightened libido? I know I must wait until the Dr says it's ok. Also does it hurt or cramp when you reach climax the first few times? My husband is very patient and wants to wait an extra 2 weeks as to not hurt me.
Thanks ladies . Julie

Re: Pain during intercourse
I believe you do get a heightened libido after surgery.I definitely had one. I also have read on this site about many others who had the same issue. As for me, not to be graphic, but I was climbimg the walls.
My husband was also willing to wait as to not hurt me. I was cleared after eight weeks for sexual activity. We took it slow and it went wonderfully. I didn't have any pain or cramping. I did have a slight pink discharge and was a little sore afterwards but that was to be expected. From what I understand as long as you do not see bright red blood you are okay. I wish you well for when your "happy" time comes!

Re: Pain during intercourse
For some women libido is very heightened. I agree with your gusband. My dr cleared me at 6wks but i still didnt feel comfortable because the way the 6 wk checkup felt I knew I coudn't do sex. However what I did was to stick a finger in my vagina and check it. It felt sore kinda like when you have a sore on your body and you press on it and I knew sex wouldnt be comfotable. I checked it weekly and around 10 wks po it was no longer uncomfortable so my dh and I went for it at 10 1/2 wks. Let me say it was great. I had no discomfort and no bleeding. So if you feel comfortable test the waters yourself or have your husband do it and I'm sure you will find things are fine. Hope this helps you.

Re: Pain during intercourse
Thank you ladies . My Dr said to try oral first and that I could do that now... I am still very frightened of the muscle contractions. But as Normanswife said I to am crawling the walls. Your answers give me hope .

Re: Pain during intercourse
I am having trouble waiting also. We have played around but not to my benefit so far. I don't mind. The other day we tried again, not have intercourse but other stuff, and I got close but chickened out. lol I have woken up from a couple of dreams and was close! I never have sex dreams but I do now. lol

Re: Pain during intercourse
Hi Apbarr. . I am completely with you on this. I also have had dreams and actually had a very small climax.. But I awoke during. I also do not have sexual dreams. I think that the fear is stopping me . Hope things get better. I just may try myself first so I can decide if I am ready like Lainey Laine said. .
