Often you can have normal sex about a month after having glaucoma surgery.
Glaucoma is a common disease in ophthalmology, and it is the second most common blinding eye disease in China. It usually needs to be treated by surgery, such as doing compound trabeculectomy and implantation of glaucoma drainage valves to reduce the pressure inside the eye and stop the progress of the disease.
Sexual intercourse is usually not recommended in the early stage after glaucoma surgery because the increased nerve excitability and dilation of blood vessels during sexual intercourse can easily trigger postoperative bleeding, which is not conducive to postoperative recovery.
Usually about one month after the glaucoma surgery, when the patient has been reviewed by the doctor and has recovered well after the surgery, normal sex life can be resumed, which will not have much effect on the postoperative recovery.
After glaucoma surgical treatment, patients should be regularly reviewed by the doctor through examination to assess the recovery and guide the follow-up treatment and life advice.
