Why Is Sexual Intercourse Forbidden After Hair Transplantation?

Only in 2022 1 million people He came to Turkey for a hair transplant. In our country, which is the hair transplant center of the world, citizens frequently prefer this surgical procedure.

The stages after the surgical operation are as important as the moment. One of these stages is in the “recovery period” limiting sexual intercourse for a while in order not to be adversely affected.

Sexual intercourse does not directly affect hair transplantation, but due to the effects it will create, it may adversely affect the recovery period after hair transplantation.

The first of these factors “sweating”. The scalp is very thin and if there is sweating in this area, the newly planted hair follicles are adversely affected. Since it is not possible not to sweat during sexual intercourse, undesirable situations may occur.

The second factor is “high blood pressure”. During sex, blood pressure increases due to the acceleration of blood flow. Since the hair grafts do not fit properly after hair transplantation, bleeding or bursting may occur here. In such a case, there is a great loss of hair grafts.

“Possible Accidents” is also a risk. Since various body movements are made during sex, the area where you have hair transplant may be damaged and this will also cause graft loss.
