Whenever you want...no restrictions. Just listen to your body. If you feel good, then it is alright and if you feel any discomfort lay low for a bit.
It is generally recommended that you wait at least two weeks after having a gastric balloon placed before engaging in sexual activity. This is because the balloon takes some time to adjust to its new environment in the stomach, and there is a risk that it could be displaced or damaged if you have sex too soon.
Although there is no prohibition to have sexual relations after the gastric balloon placement, it is advisable to listen to your body, personally we recommend to patients who go through this, to wait at least 3 to 7 days before continuing with their sexual activity. The important thing in this case is to listen to your body and take into account the use of contraceptive methods during this period, since it is not recommended to have the balloon while you are pregnant.
Hi!There are no specific restrictions regarding sexual activity after balloon placement. You can feel free to do as you like once you feel well. Most people probably wouldn't feel up to it for the first few days after balloon placement, in general. Hope that helps!
It varies per patient, I recommend waiting for at least a week and make sure you do not have any symptoms after the balloon (like nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort). If any problems occur after resuming sexual activity then abstain and seek medical evaluation
Great question! There are no restrictions on this activity after this minimally invasive procedure. Do what you feel comfortable doing :))
