I recently had my gall bladder removed, it's been about 10 days now, and they've taken the stitches out. I'm wondering when it would be safe to start having sex again. Can you give me any advice or guidelines on this?

It is generally safe to resume sexual activity after gall bladder surgery once your stitches have been removed and your incision site has healed completely. However, it is recommended to wait at least 2-4 weeks after surgery before engaging in sexual activity to allow your body to fully recover. Remember to listen to your body and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.

I've noticed this pea-sized lump above my left collar bone, and it's really movable. It only seems to show up when I'm in certain positions. I'm starting to get worried. I had an abdominal scan about eight months ago, and everything looked fine back then. Could you help me figure out what this could be?
