How should people with heart failure have sex?

Sexual activity for people with heart failure is an issue that patients often wonder about and learn about. When participating in marital activities, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure health and safety, as follows:

Health status: You should only be sexually active when you feel healthy and do not experience shortness of breath or any other health-related problems.

Time after meals: Wait at least 2 hours after eating, this will help your body digest better and reduce discomfort.

Comfortable position: Choose sexual positions that are comfortable and require little effort to avoid putting stress on the body and heart.

Consult a doctor: If you have difficulty having sex or are using medication to treat erectile dysfunction, consult your doctor to receive appropriate advice.
