How soon can you have intercourse after laparoscopic surgery

The timing of intercourse after laparoscopic surgery needs to be determined by the type of surgery and the patient’s postoperative recovery. If the laparoscopic surgery is small and less traumatic, the recovery is faster, such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy or appendectomy, the patient can usually have intercourse about 2 weeks after the surgery. If the laparoscopic surgery is large, such as laparoscopic radical surgery for gastric and colorectal cancers or liver cancer surgery, the surgery is more traumatic and the damage is heavier, so the patient will take longer time to recover, and the patient can only gradually recover about 1 month after the surgery. If intrauterine surgery is performed under laparoscopy, it will cause damage to the body and patients should wait until normal menstruation is restored before having intercourse, and patients need to recuperate for about 1 month so that their bodies can recover better. After laparoscopy, pay attention to nutrition and sufficient sleep, and exercise appropriately to strengthen local blood supply.
