How much abstinence is generally required for fractures

  Abstinence from sex is usually required for at least 4 weeks after a fracture, depending on the site and severity of the fracture.  Sex itself does not affect fracture healing, but sex may cause micromovement and stabilization of the fracture site, which in turn may affect fracture healing. If sexual activity does not affect the fracture site, such as a minor fracture at the end of the limb, sex can be performed in a passive position after 1 week of fixation; if the fracture is severe, such as an open comminuted fracture combined with soft tissue injury, sex must be prohibited at this time, and normal sex can usually be performed only after the fracture has healed.  The fracture treatment during sex may be negligent protection of the fracture site or the action is too intense to cause secondary injury, pain will also affect the mood of both parties. Patients with fractures should pay attention to recuperation, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat more calcium-containing foods, avoid intense exercise, review regularly, and follow medical advice.
