Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Individuals with appendicitis may engage in sexual intercourse if the condition is chronic appendicitis and the disease is well-controlled and stable. However, they should moderate the frequency and intensity of intercourse, avoiding abdominal trauma or excessive strain that could worsen the condition. In cases of acute appendicitis, sexual intercourse is generally not recommended due to severe pain and possible accompanying symptoms.
