According to some doctors, middle-aged women are having their hips replaced in order to improve their sex lives.
Researchers suggested that women are increasingly asking about the side effects of the surgery on their sex lives, as well ask asking for advice on when to resume having sex again and which positions they should be avoiding.
An orthopaedic surgeon in Southampton, Simon Tilley said, “Traditionally, when it comes to hip replacements, sex is not talked about. Instead, patients will ask leading questions such as, 'What can't I do when I have my hip replacement?' or 'Are there any positions that I should really not put my hips or legs in?'.”
