How soon you can have intercourse after a hysterectomy depends largely on the type of surgery chosen and how well you recover from the surgery. Hysterectomy surgery includes transabdominal hysterectomy, laparoscopic hysterectomy and transvaginal hysterectomy. After the hysterectomy, the vaginal dissection is sutured and sex can be resumed only after the vaginal dissection has completely healed. If the patient chooses to have a partial hysterectomy, intercourse is possible about 1.5 months after the surgery; if a total hysterectomy is performed, intercourse is usually possible only 3 months after the surgery. In addition, if the patient has sex before the vaginal dissection has completely healed, it may cause bleeding from the vaginal dissection. Also, if the patient has postoperative complications or is relatively weak and has a co-infection, it is recommended that intercourse be delayed appropriately. In addition, patients should pay attention to the frequency and number of sexual intercourse after resuming sexual life, and pay attention to sexual hygiene to reduce the possibility of reproductive tract infection.
