7 weeks post op and sex hurts, am I normal
I had a complete hysterectomy seven weeks ago. I got the go ahead from my doctor to have sex. So we did and it hurt. Not tons, but it still hurt. How much pain is too much? Will it get better over time? What am I in for?
Thanks
Cindy

I haven't received the ok to resume sexual activity yet but from what I have read over and over on this site, some pain is normal and many have said it can last for months. The main concensus though is that it gets better with time. Take is slow and easy.

7 weeks post op and sex hurts, am I normal
I've read a lot of the posts about sex hurting at first. It seems that a few women don't experience any pain, some do have a little pain and some alot. I wasn't cleared for sex until like week 14 due to complications, and it did hurt a bit at first but each time it is better. That's what most say here. That is does get better with time. You are still healing. Just take it easy and use plenty of lube.

I am sorry for your discomfort. As has been mentioned, some ladies do experience pain in varying degrees when they resume sex after a hyst. It can be for various reason--not healed completely, vagina may be smaller, swelling not completely gone, etc. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call your dr.
Best wishes to you as you continue to recover.

It definitely got better with time. I am 6 months out and things are *just* starting to feel completely normal again.

I got the green light at 6 weeks. It was uncomfortable. We decided to wait, a couple of weeks. So we will try again this weekend. I hope its better this time. I guess we all heal at different rates. I am just glad I have a patient DH. Good luck!
