Post-Appendectomy Sexual Activity: Recovery Timeline & Recommendations
General guideline: wait 4–6 weeks after appendectomy before resuming sexual intercourse. This allows:
- Surgical wound healing
- Reduced risk of incisional hernia or dehiscence
- Resolution of intra-abdominal inflammation
Always follow your surgeon's specific instructions based on surgical approach (laparoscopic vs. open), complications, and individual recovery.
