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.
