Can I have sex after a hair transplant?
The short answer
Usually from day 14, if your clinic agrees.
Day by day
- Days 0–6Not yet
Best to wait about a week. Exertion raises blood pressure, which can cause bleeding and swelling, and it's easy to knock the grafts.
- Days 7–13Careful
Gentle is OK for most people. Keep the grafts away from pillows, headboards and hands.
- From day 14Yes
Usually fine now.
Not yet reviewed by a doctor — verify with your clinic.
