I was thinking of infection with regards to eeeekkk dare I say it anal sex and wondering if that was a no no after a joint replacement.............but yes a watchword is a very good and wise idea.......what a disappointment re no swinging from the chandeliers I'm in my 40s so......thanks for info x
Are you thinking re possible infection of the closed joint in the same way as it used to be thought that dental work could cause such infections. Yes the anus contains millions of bacteria as does the mouth. I would think that as long as your immune system is OK, so that your body deals with any transient bacteraemia, It would be fine.
In my late 60's now, so no swinging for me and Mrs Rocketman .....
Just goes to show, there's nothing you cannot ask here and you know you will get good sensible replies.
Anal's not 'our thing', but there really should be no more risks of infection after THR than before as long as the wound is sealed under a waterproof dressing or healed over properly as it should be once the dressing is off. Closed wound = OK.
Lol thank you!! x
