Q. Is it alright to have sex three days after a laser eye surgery?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• You can involve in sexual activities. This particular laser treatment has no relation with intercourse.

I hope this helps. Regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• It is definitely safe to have normal sex after a retinal laser as it will not have any side effects.

• But, having said that, you did not mention the cause for PRP. Why were you recommended a pan-retinal photocoagulation at this age?

• Kindly share the diagnosis for which the pan-retinal photocoagulation was done. This will help me in guiding you better.

Regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• For retinal holes, a barrage laser treatment is done. For retinal tears as well, we do a barrage laser which involves lasering the focal area in front of the tear.

• Whereas, pan-retinal photocoagulation involves lasering the whole retina and sparing only the central retina. Kindly recheck if a focal barrage laser or a pan-retinal photocoagulation was done. If possible, kindly share your case file and test reports.

• In the case of a pan-retinal photocoagulation, sex can be enjoyed 24 hours after. But, if there was a retinal tear, we need to decide based on the location and extent of the retinal tear as well as an associated retinal detachment, etc.

• I can tell you clearly after seeing your reports and the case file. Having said that, softcore sex can still be enjoyed. Avoid athletic sex.

Regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• As mentioned earlier, you can definitely perform softcore sex without fear. Athletic sex can also be performed in the case of a presence of retinal holes. But, if there was a retinal tear, then I would advise you to wait for at least two weeks for athletic sex. Softcore sex, which includes foreplay, penetration, etc. can be enjoyed in any situation even now. Let me summarise it this way.

• In the case of a retinal hole:

1. Softcore sex: Yes.
2. Athletic sex: Yes.

• In the case of a retinal tear:

1. Softcore sex: Yes.
2. Athletic sex: Avoid for at least two weeks.

I hope this will answer your query. Regards.
