Does sex help with heart attack recovery? According to a new study, people who maintain or increase the frequency of sex during the first six months after a heart attack may lower their risk of death by as much as a 35%.
"For this and other reasons, some patients [including younger ones] hesitate to resume sexual activity for long periods after a heart attack," Gerber said in a journal news release.He also theorized that a quick return to bedroom activity after a heart attack may be a sign of a better overall recovery.
In any case, the new findings"should serve to reduce patients' concerns about returning to their usual level of sexual activity soon after a heart attack," Gerber said.
