After uterine fibroid removal surgery, whether you can resume sexual activity generally depends on the type of surgery, recovery progress, and your doctor&39;s advice.
1. Recovery time: For most women, doctors typically recommend avoiding sexual intercourse for 46 weeks after uterine fibroid removal surgery (such as laparoscopy or open surgery). This period allows the uterus to heal and reduces the risk of infection or other complications.
2. Type of surgery: If it&39;s a laparoscopic or minimally invasive procedure, the recovery time may be shorter. If it&39;s open surgery, the recovery time may be longer. Your doctor will provide specific recovery guidelines based on the complexity of the surgery.
3. Improvement of symptoms: If recovery is smooth and there are no significant discomforts, doctors usually allow resumption of sexual activity. However, there may be mild discomfort or vaginal dryness in the early postoperative period, and it may take some time for these symptoms to fully resolve.
4. Individual differences: Everyone&39;s recovery process is different. Some women may recover quickly, while others may need more time. It&39;s important to listen to your body and follow your doctor&39;s advice.
