Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Can I have sex after a heart attack?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
This is a very common question among heart attack patients. I would explain that there is no specific time to return to sexual activity after a heart attack. It depends on the individual’s ability to engage in physical activity. It is usually recommended to resume sexual intercourse when the patient is able to perform moderate physical activities, such as climbing a flight of stairs or walking 100 meters. An exercise cardiac stress test can be performed to ensure that the patient is able to handle moderate physical activity.
Thanks and regards.
