Whether or not you can have sexual intercourse before minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids generally depends on your symptoms, your doctor&39;s advice, and your individual condition.
1. Pain and discomfort: If the symptoms caused by fibroids (such as pain, bleeding, or discomfort) are severe, it may affect your ability to have intercourse. In such cases, doctors usually recommend avoiding sex to prevent exacerbating symptoms or causing discomfort.
2. Doctor&39;s advice: If you&39;re planning a minimally invasive procedure, it&39;s best to discuss sexual activity with your doctor beforehand. Sometimes, doctors may recommend temporarily avoiding sex, especially if you are experiencing heavy bleeding or if the fibroid is causing instability in the uterus.
3. Risk of sexual activity: For some women, intercourse might trigger uterine contractions or irritation, which can lead to bleeding or other discomforts. If you notice abnormal bleeding or severe pain after sex, it’s best to pause intercourse and consult your doctor.
4. Surgical preparation: In some cases, doctors may recommend refraining from sexual activity for a period of time before surgery to ensure that your body is in the best condition for the procedure.
