Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can I can understand your concern.
Sexual activity needs high exertion.
So it is considered as heavy duty work.
Post angioplasty it is advisable to avoid heavy duty work for at least 4-6 weeks.
So better to avoid sexual intercourse for 4-6 weeks. Wait for 3 weeks more.
And once you start sexual activity, try two gradually increase the intensity.
Don't do heavy exertion on the first attempt.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
