Show Notes
Dr Nic Frost joins Down to the Bone for a conversation about one of the most important — and least talked about parts of life after hip surgery: Sex.
When can you safely have sex after a hip replacement? Are there positions you should avoid? What actually puts your new hip at risk? And why do so many patients feel too embarrassed to ask?
We talk openly about the questions patients often want to ask but don’t know how to bring up, the practical realities of getting back to sex after surgery, and how surgeons and patients can have a much more comfortable conversation about it.
Because recovering from a hip replacement isn't just about walking, running and getting back to the golf course… sometimes it's about getting back to the bedroom too.
As always, told with our special blend of the truth, exaggeration and a large smothering of hilarious stories that have got us here..
