Hello,We advise to avoid sexual activity for first week after hair transplantation. The rationale is to avoid increasing blood pressure. There are no studies supporting this however. Best Anil Shah MD
Sex is not harmful to transplanted grafts. If you believe otherwise or you are concerned contact your doctor.
Unless the recipient area was rubbed or pulled, sex is probably fine after a few days past the transplant surgery. Keep in mind that many doctors recommend waiting a few days for moderate physical activity, but two weeks for strenuous physical activity, though.
Grafts are not permanent until 10 days following your hair transplant procedure. At 100 hours, they can be dislodged if the scalp is rubbed too vigorously. When grafts are dislodged, the area usually bleeds, so if you did not experience bleeding, you are most likely fine.
Go for it. Sex is normal and it is normal exercise that is good for your overall health. I tell my patients sex is ok anytime after 48 hours.
it is alright to have sex after hair transplant as long as the hair in the recipient area is not touched and the follicles are not pulled out.

Scabs post op can be gently massaged with baby oil. The key word is gently so that it doesn't disturb the transplanted hair follicle root.
Thanks for the question. After 2 month your scalp is totally healed and yes you can play volleyball and also do other sport activities. I wish you all the best.
FUE scars are left in the donor where the hair is taken, not in the recipient area, where the hair is placed. The tools used to make the recipient sites are very tiny. There should be no evidence or scars where you get your new hair.
As long as you avoid excessive sunlight for the first few months, and excessive sweating for the first few days, the heat shouldn't pose an issue for your scalp to heal correctly.
If you are having an allergic reaction to the medication, it would be a good idea to stop taking it and contact your doctor.
