Was your surgery laparoscopic or was this an open-abdomen operation?
In laparoscopic surgeries, any strenuous activity should be avoided for at least 2 weeks. For the most part, doctors will give you the green light for sex and tampons any time after two weeks. However, this should be addressed with your doctor. If you had open-abdomen surgery, your doctor may want you to wait a little longer.
