Sexual Activity After Hand Surgery: A Guide to Safe Recovery
Safety of sexual activity post-hand surgery depends on:
- Procedure type: Bone, tendon, or ligament repairs require stricter immobilization.
- Healing phase: Early stages demand rest; avoid stress on the healing hand.
- Wound status: Protect incisions/sutures from tension or contamination.
- Physical comfort: Pain, swelling, reduced mobility may make activity uncomfortable.
- Surgeon's specific instructions: Always follow personalized guidance.
When in doubt, consult your surgeon before resuming sexual activity to avoid compromising recovery.
