0.03 -> how long after a stroke should we wait
2.1 -> before having sex again this fear is
5.67 -> huge and shared by a lot of people and
7.649 -> really understandable
9.26 -> so the Stroke Association has got a
12.66 -> really useful leaflet called sex after
15.12 -> stroke which gives some very
16.65 -> black-and-white answers to some these
18.449 -> questions and it's definitely the link
20.369 -> will be below worth checking out
22.23 -> so on that leaf or they're suggesting
24.18 -> that three months after stroke should be
29.4 -> a period by which things have blood
31.26 -> pressures stabilize such that feelings
33.69 -> for sex life again what's in all of
41.64 -> these questions what's important there's
42.809 -> a kind of distinct sub stroke type that
46.62 -> has a different story to the rest so
48.3 -> subarachnoid hemorrhages have come from
51.449 -> a burst aneurysm seem to have particular
53.67 -> risk factors around sudden raise blood
58.17 -> pressure that may accompany an orgasm
60.21 -> that need thinking about differently to
63.89 -> an ischemic stroke for example but the
67.59 -> point that's made in a leaf there
69.33 -> generally is that when a person has a
71.22 -> stroke they might have had some risk
72.63 -> factors that were lying there undetected
74.729 -> and unmanaged and the stroke has alerted
76.83 -> everyone to that and maybe those risk
79.14 -> factors are now identified and managed
81.869 -> so there might be in a way safer to our
83.79 -> sex than at the point of if they'd had a
87.45 -> stroke when they're done having sex in
90.21 -> the first place so I think it's a key
92.46 -> thing all the question is making sure
94.079 -> that all the Associated risk factors
96.35 -> around having strokes are managed
98.82 -> in her blood pressure lifestyle faxes if
102 -> they are managed then its thinking about
104.94 -> sex as no different to any other form of
108.06 -> exercise really one website talked about
111.36 -> sex is the same as going up two flights
113.55 -> of stairs so it depends on how you got
116.25 -> the stairs and how you have sexes but I
119.49 -> think is interesting that there's a
121.47 -> broader question around the questions
126.33 -> you want be having sex might be complete
127.74 -> with lifestyle generally and introducing
130.77 -> exercise back into your life post stroke
132.66 -> and general guidance and that is
134.61 -> obviously gentle low density exercise
137.73 -> ism is more healthy more protective Liew
140.67 -> than an absence of exercise so the
142.5 -> things same things would apply to sex as
144.18 -> well
150.72 -> [Music]
157.04 -> [Applause]
161.74 -> [Music]
