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.

Remember to listen to your body and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
