After ankle ligament surgery, coitus is not recommended in the early postoperative period, generally speaking, coitus can be carried out after 1 month, but not strenuous, the range of action should not be too large.
After ankle ligament surgery, ligaments are tendinous tissues with general blood flow, and the healing of torn ligaments mainly relies on the surrounding blood supply.
As coitus can affect the blood circulation around the ankle and may affect the healing of the ankle ligaments as well as cause chipping of the skin incision, infection, etc., coitus is not recommended in the early postoperative period. Ligament repair usually takes 1 month or more.
Therefore, it is generally recommended to have intercourse after 1 month, and even if you do, you should pay attention to the posture to avoid causing secondary injury. After ankle ligament surgery, patients are advised to go to the hospital for regular checkups and decide the next step of treatment and the specific time for coitus based on the checkups.
