Question: Dear Doctor! My friend (67 years) five weeks ago there was an extensive transmural infarction. We formed aneurysm. Can he have sex now, and what are the limitations? In this respect he has always been a very active person and said that abstinence does him more harm than the possible physical burden.
Answer: (20. 04. 07) Sex helpful in all respects (http://doktor. ru / qa / heart / article. html? id = 48529), but in such a situation, it must be evaluated and in terms of physical activity, and is under force to the patient. Note that up to 8 weeks stretches subacute infarction period – yet to happen, speaking in medical terms, complete replacement of necrotic masses of granulation tissue and the completion of the initial process of forming scar. Inadequate, excessive fiznagruzki may further provoke the formation of an aneurysm of the heart. And if the patient is not taking prescribed medications, the increased risk of arrhythmia.
