Sex after surgery

[clement]

OK. I had sex 12 days after surgery (just checking if things could still work...) and apparently it was not a good idea.

The discharge of adrenaline apparently put my heartbeat out of whack (irregular and then continuous high beat rate).

I had to go to the ER yesterday. They tried some IV meds that did not work. Then they put me under and reset the heart with small electrical shocks.

What the heck? Has anyone had the same issue?
I had heart surgery, not a vow to become a monk.

I'll tell you what's not a good idea: telling your PARTNER that you're "just checking if things could still work..."! At least where I come from, I'd be lucky to make it all the way to the ER!

lol about your monk comment! i was really scared to have sex the first time after surgery. lucky for me being a girl, i didn't have to do most of the work. however i was still afraid something bad would happen but i was okay. i think it was 1 1/2 or 2 weeks after surgery. im sorry that happened to you! now you are probably afraid to try again in the future. did they tell you anything about why that happened or if it will happen again?

Malibu82,

I had no idea that a woman would do that 10 day after surgery!
Anyway, the ER told me to put it on hold for 5 weeks....

Oh, it's been a long time since we have had a good sex thread on the VR site.
Don't be shy. We need details to offer the best advice. HA HA HA

10 days???!!!!!! You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din! (well, I'm not a man, anyway).

I waited about 4 weeks. Both times.

12 days ? You're an animal.

Better make that the dirty deprived women.

Sounds like a case of "Exercise Induced A-Fib"

Sotalol might do the trick (suppress the response - possibly both :-(

Did you say deprived or depraved

Hummm.....I can remember when right after my 1st surgery in 1975 (keep in mind I was only 24 years old!), I actually wanted to do it w/my husband in the hospital room!!! :biggrin2: Can you imagine?!!! :eek2: No dice though, cause he was terribly afraid to try it!!! LOL!!!

Anyhoo....in all seriousness, 12 days is a bit too soon! There will be plenty of time for that....no need to rush things!!!!

12 days..........WHAT........take my hat of to you, took me 6 weeks and then it nearly killed me lol........

 

[Bean Counter]

It took me about 1.5 weeks. Before I left the hospital, I asked the PA if it would be okay. He said as soon as I wanted, but then said I should avoid anything resembling push ups.

Agreed. Exercise induced A-Fib or Tachycardia.....Definitely Not fun at all.
It may be wise to postpone the "equipment check" until you can get your heart rate to increase in a safe manner by
going up stairs etc.

Norma, you are such a naughty thing. Trying to jump your husband in the hospital is just exceptional.

 

[Robb Wilder]

I got my wife pregnant 12 weeks after surgery. Be careful!! It still works.

....can you imagine if I'd had a private room???!!!!:biggrin2::smile2:

Sex... yes, please!

Sex... yes, please!

I tried to talk my wife into having sex while I was still in the hospital, but she was concerned that the nursing staff would interrupt things. I had to wait until I got home. It was less than a week post-op... not soon enough.
