Is It Safe to Resume Activities After RAI Treatment?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

1. After receiving RAI (Radioactive Iodine) 3 mCi treatment, it is generally recommended to wait at least one week before engaging in sexual activity. This waiting period allows your body to reduce radiation levels to a safe limit, minimizing any potential exposure to your partner. Since your treatment was on December 25, you should be fine to resume normal activities after a week.

2. However, if you have any additional concerns or specific medical conditions, it is always best to consult your treating physician for personalized advice.

Thanks
