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.
