Question 1

how long before i can have sex after a hernia operation?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the type of hernia and technique if repair. For most operations, activity as tolerated by pain is the rule. Check with your surgeon to be sure.

Question 2

its been almost an year i had my operation of femoral hernia last stage and i still have that pain sometimes after sex and during my pms cycle?

Accepted Answer

Chronic Post-Op pain: Hernia recurrence or neuralgia due to injury or entrapment of a nerve near the surgical site are two of the more common reasons to experience pain after a hernia operation. Other causes are possible, but these are the ones. A follow-up evaluation with the operating surgeon is suggested.

Question 3

hello i am 44 years old man. i go through hernia operations and stone operation. i had sex with my girl friend. she have white jaundice. ?

Accepted Answer

See details: There is no such thing as white jaundice. If your gf has acute or chronic hepatitis and you had unprotected sex, there is a chance you will be infected.

Question 4

last week on thursday was my inguinal hernia operation.
my question is : can i practice anal-sex or is it dangerous?
i am the bottom part ...

Accepted Answer

No: The key to healing in an inguinal hernia is time without straining. Generally we say 4-6 weeks before strenuous exercise. While no real guidelines exist for sex , i would avoid it for at least a couple of weeks and immediately stop if there is any pain

Question 5

been a day since my open ingunial hernia repair surgery is it a good or bad idea to participate in sex if she is on top?

Accepted Answer

Bad idea: It will probably be a painful experience and i would recommend abstaining until the area is less swollen and tender before resuming normal activity.

Question 6

i had an umbilical hernia with mesh surgery 1 week ago. can i have sex?

Accepted Answer

Umbilical hernia: You should be able to, but you might find the incision site to be still a bit on the tender side so you might consider waiting for at least another week or two.

Question 7

i had sex four days after an umbilical hernia surgery.  will that affect the recovery?

Accepted Answer

No: The  defect in the abdominal wall necessitating hernia repair in the para umbilical area  is small.  With heavy and at least 2 layer suture repair especially if no mesh required, chance of disrupting suture line rare.  If this had been initiated during sexual activity severe pain as one or more sutures broke would have been readily noted.  More problems would have been noted in an inguinal repair.

Question 8

after surgery iguinal scrotal hernia how long cant sex to the partner?

Accepted Answer

: wait 4-6 weeks for the surgery to heal  properly

Question 9

i am in my 2nd month of hernia surgery recovery, is it safe to have sex yet or should i wait some more?

Accepted Answer

Speak to surgeon: In general uncomplicated hernia  , 2  months is sufficient time to do all activities , in normal healing process collagen deposits in 3 wks , 8 wks is plenty of time if you have no other associated problems ,  but  speak to your surgeon .

Question 10

i  am going to get open mesh ingunial hernia repair surgery  this week. will i be able to have sex after the surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes: For open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia operations, i tell my patients to return to call mental activity as tolerated by pain. This is a variable amount of time, but usually most people after open inguinal hernia operations are back to normal activity at 2 to 3 weeks. If any complications arise, obviously this may not hold. There are also exceptions to this rule. Good luck!
