Q: Sex After Endo Laparoscopy
asked by: kimlaws on July 31st, 2009

I just had a laparoscopy done for endometriosis last wednesday. Before that, my doctor kept telling me that Id only have to wait a week to have sex or go back to usual activities like that. Then after the surgery she said two weeks with nothing in the vagina. Well, last night (technically, about 5am this morning) for some reason I still kept thinking it was one week and my bf and I ended up having sex (he just got back from kansas 10 days ago, so sexual tension was really really high). And I remembered a little while afterwards that i was supposed to wait 2 weeks, not one.
I feel really stupid for getting mixed up.
Basically, should I have reason to worry?
Will my doctor have reason to be mad? Will this screw anything up regarding recovery?
Yeah, I know now I shouldnt have done it. So please dont be like other people and say "well if she told you not to then whyd you do it?". I deleted this question from another site because people were being jerks.
Thank you to anyone who responds.

Congratulations on feeling well enough to have sex Smile

I have had three laproscopic surgeries and been told different time frames with each one, ranging from two weeks to four weeks to six weeks. I'm not a doctor by any stretch of the imagination but I assume that as long as it was not painful, did not result in bleeding or pain that it was okay.

Please don't feel guilty. I find that we, as women, are made to feel guilty about waaay too many things at it is - don't add this to the ever groing list Smile

Good luck and best wishes

I doubt very much that you have done any damage ! Take it easy though because your scar although small will still be a little delicate and you don't want that opening up. Don't beat yourself up about having sex though ! I have no idea why Doctors put time limits on these things - is it to test us to see how long we can keep our hands off our partners ?! Chill out my friend Smile

sex after laparoscopy
I had a laparoscopy surgery for endo two weeks ago and my doctor said it was fine after a week as long as I was up to it. Well, I feel fine from the surgery but was not able to have sex after 2 weeks because it was too painful. My insides are still inflamed, has anyone else had this problem?
