First of all, sexual life has no mysterious influence on fracture healing. For example, it is said that it will make bones black. So far, the influence of sexual activity on fracture healing is limited to the fact that sexual activity may cause inappropriate micro-motion of fracture site, which in turn affects the stability of fracture fixation and fracture healing. From this perspective, the influence of sexual activity on fractures in different parts is also different. It has little effect on upper limb fracture and leg and foot fracture. There are pelvic fractures, spinal fractures and femoral fractures that have great influence. Less serious pelvic fractures and spinal fractures are generally easy to heal, and sexual life can be gradually restored after getting out of bed, which generally takes 8- 12 weeks. The problem of femoral fracture is more complicated. Under the premise of firm and reliable fixation, sexual life can be resumed in 6-8 weeks. However, the current mainstream fixation method, intramedullary nail, is not a very solid fixation method, and it is difficult for patients to evaluate the reliability of fixation, so they should take an appropriate and cautious attitude. There is no need for abstinence, but it is necessary to avoid excessive tension in the injured leg. Taking a passive stance is worth advocating.
The above analysis from the mechanical point of view may affect fracture healing. Fracture trauma also has a certain impact on human sexual ability and sexual ability. Mild trauma usually affects the human body within 3 weeks, but severe trauma, such as the fracture of the main load-bearing bone, will last for 4-6 weeks. At this stage, the human body will be emaciated and weak, and sexual desire and sexual ability will be affected accordingly. Therefore, it is best to control sexual life within 4-6 weeks of major fractures, and 6 weeks is a good dividing line, because most fractures have reached a certain healing strength at 6 weeks, but patients with femoral fractures still need to protect their injured legs.
Fracture is still a kind of psychological trauma for patients. Proper love between husband and wife will be a good comfort, and complete abstinence is not desirable.
