Transcription:

Dyspareunia is pain with intercourse or pain post intercourse. Pain with intercourse itself can have a strong emotional impact. Quite often, it can lead to avoidance of intercourse with your partner. It can lead to relationship issues with your partner. It can lead to a fear of intercourse and this fear can lead to something we call Vaginismus. When patients are in fear of intercourse, the muscles surrounding the vaginal opening can clamp down, so to speak. It can also lead to emotional distress, anxiety, as well as sleep disturbances, all secondary to the pain with intercourse. We do always ask, is it more of a superficial burning sensation? Which can often be associated with entrance pain or Vulvodynia symptoms, and at that point, it’s important to evaluate any underlying hormonal cause or underlying infection such as a yeast infection. Or is it more of a deep, penetrating pain? The pelvic floor muscles are important in evaluating and treating as well as any underlying organ disorders potentially within the female system such as ovarian cyst or a fibroid.

Sex After Joint Replacement Surgery is a topic that makes people uncomfortable, but it’s a important to talk about. You can expect a period of time after surgery where you’re not going to be physically able to have sex. After this period, there’s going to be a period where you can but you just have to be cautious. Use a common sense approach with sexual activity.

There’s also a difference between positions for hips and knees. For hips, there’s a few differences. First, depending on the approach your surgeon used, there are different precautions. Whether your surgery was done from the front or the back, will dictate which positions are safe and which positions are unsafe. There’s a lot of literature and articles about what you can and cannot do after surgery and as you recovery.

In terms of knees, the biggest issue is anterior knee pain and range of motion. Often times in the first few weeks after surgery we’re focused on increasing range of motion. Certain positions could potentially flex your knee to the point where it causes discomfort. Three to four weeks after surgery or when you’re able to walk on your own and your pain is controlled off narcotics, is a good time to start experiementing.
