Can a patient who have had a heart bye pass operation return to normal sexual activities? If yes when?

Question:

Answers:
Sex

Many patients and their partners feel nervous about resuming sexual activity after heart surgery. The amount of energy it requires to perform intercourse with a spouse or regular partner is similar to climbing about one or two flights of stairs or walking about one half mile (0.8 km) at a brisk pace. If you cannot perform these activities without becoming tired or short of breath, please allow additional recovery time before resuming sexual activity. For the first six to eight weeks, use positions which limit pressure or weight on the breastbone or tension on the arms and chest.

* Keep in mind that a sexual relationship has both physical and emotional aspects
* Talk openly with your partner
* Allow a gradual return of sexual activity
* Have sex when you are rested and physically comfortable
* Create realistic performance expectations - it may take time to return to an active sex life
* Be caring honest and loving with each other

Soon you and your partner will return to a satisfying emotional and physical relationship. Anxiety on the part of either partner, as well as some medications, may interfere with sexual arousal or performance. Discuss any difficulties with your doctor.
