Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your doctor has advised right thing.
You can have sex whenever you are comfortable.
Cervix and vagina is kept intact in subtotal hysterectomy.So,you can have sex.
Definitely you can do sex in 4th week as wounds would heal in this time period.
Wish for speedy recovery.
Take Care
