How long it takes to have intercourse after open surgery for uterine fibroids varies from person to person, and is related to factors such as the condition, the type of surgery, and the patient’s physical fitness. Generally, the uterus needs to return to normal after the surgery before sexual intercourse, and the time needed for uterine recovery is about one month due to various factors, and the longest one needs 2 to 3 months, or even longer.
If the laparotomy is a simple myomectomy and the patient is in good physical condition, the uterus will take less time to recover and may return to normal in a month or so. However, if the open surgery is a hysterectomy, it will take 2 to 3 months to return to normal, and some patients with poor health or abnormal conditions may take even longer.
After surgery for uterine fibroids, it is important to pay attention to a reasonable diet, bed rest and moderate exercise to help the organism recover.
