Introduction

In general, patients can resume sexual activity after receiving a stent. Stent placement usually refers to implanting a stent within the coronary artery, which helps alleviate symptoms of inadequate blood supply to the heart. It is indicated for patients with more than 75% narrowing in the main coronary artery, especially when accompanied by significant myocardial ischemia. After the procedure, patients' vascular condition gradually returns to a state similar to that before the onset of the disease.

Stent placement usually involves implanting a stent into the coronary artery to help relieve symptoms of inadequate blood supply to the heart. It is indicated for patients with more than 75% narrowing in the main coronary artery accompanied by significant myocardial ischemia. After stent surgery, the patient's vascular condition gradually returns to near-normal, and they can typically tolerate moderate physical activity. For example, if climbing two or more flights of stairs does not cause any discomfort, engaging in sexual activity is generally safe and unlikely to cause adverse effects. However, during the acute phase, strenuous activities—including sexual activity—are not recommended to avoid complications and ensure proper recovery.

After surgery, it is advisable to consume an appropriate amount of foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals—such as fish, eggs, fresh vegetables, and fruits—to promote wound healing and overall recovery.

What can you eat to prolong sexual intercourse time?

To prolong sexual intercourse duration, medications such as dapoxetine hydrochloride tablets, sertraline tablets, paroxetine tablets, fluoxetine tablets, and citalopram tablets are commonly used. Dapoxetine hydrochloride tablets regulate the central nervous system's serotonin concentration, thereby extending the latency period of the ejaculation reflex and improving ejaculatory control. With rapid onset and a duration of action well-suited to sexual activity needs, it is a first-line agent commonly used in clinical practice.
