Intimacy After Joint Replacement

Reva's corner:
After a total joint replacement you may be afraid that any activity, including sex, could cause pain or injury. Your partner may also be afraid of hurting you. These fears are normal. Having concerns about the way your body looks is also normal. Discuss such issues with your partner. What matters most is that you and your partner talk with each other about your needs - emotional as well as sexual ones.

Following your hip replacement surgery, you may have a renewed interest in intimacy. You'll likely be somewhat restricted by comfort and range of motion issues, but always get your surgeon's OK before planning to become intimate again.
