when can one start there sex life after CABG? whether any spl.precaution is necessary during intercourse?

Answer 1

Sexual activity typically requires 5 metabolic equivalents (METs) to perform and can be resumed gradually over four weeks or earlier, once sternal pain and healing has been resolved. In terms of physical exertion alone, most CABG patients can expend 5 METs without risk after discharge. The optimal position for intercourse would be free of strain on the ribcage and pectoral muscles. ·

Answer 2

Milind, this is the fifth question you are asking one after another. Why not make a list and ask once ? If we say yes, or say some period, are you going to listen to us? Your cardiologist is the right person to ask. Are you aware that bypass is not a permanent solution for CAD. There are several cases where a patient had to undergo second bypass. Every thing depends on your life style, diets and post surgery medication.

Answer 3

Your cardiologist would be the best person to answer this question. It could depend on how much heart function you have left at this point. Different people have different recovery times and outcomes. I don't know how healthy you are, but with some surgeries activities which raise the blood pressure are not recommended.

Answer 4

Often times, there are no restrictions after the doctor releases you; however, it is best that you present this question to your doctor for s/he knows your medical history; people on this site do not, and cannot give you a correct answer. Sorry, it is too risky to guess when it comes to the heart. Good Luck!
