laparoctomy and ovary reconstruction
just had a 15cm cyst removed and my ovary reconstructed but have not been given any after care information, like when can I drive, swim, bath or have sex with my gf can anyone help also I was given a softener which I was taking daily like instructed by my nurse and it took 8 days to go toilet now I have had the runs for 4 days is this normal
I had my surgery on the 18th July, I stopped using the softener a week ago but am still on the toilet a lot, my incision is healing very well I was just worried as I had internal work done which I can't see as for sex as I am a lesbian and don't achieve full penetration I was unsure
When did you have the surgery?
Sex would be at your own discretion. I waited a very long time because the thought of sex after that really scared me and I was afraid of the pain. Everyone is different.
As for the swimming, as long as your incision has closed up and is not infected it should be fine. I would say 2-3 weeks.
The stool softeners are for people who cant go after a surgery, since you are having the runs come off them you dont seem to need them.
