Accepted Answer

Hard to know: What someone does during self sex will very from person to person. Since we have no information on your pre-surgical health, the difficulty of your surgery or your level of recovery, it is not reasonable to assume there is a blanket answer. It would be more reasonable for you to call the surgeon &amp; ask when you can resume sexual activity. You don't need to mention what kind.

Question 7

sir,

i had my laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery on both sides two years back. as i am not married yet, i masturbate twice or thrice a week to satisfy my urge. my main concern is can masturbation or sex damage or dislocate the mesh or tacks ?

Accepted Answer

No: Once the repair has been incorporated into your tissue structure you are essentially normal. I wouldn't lose any sleep over self or partner sex.

Question 8

had an inguinal hernia surgery open repair with mesh in 2010, feel pain at surgical side after masturbating but don't feel pain after wet dream reason?

Accepted Answer

Pain: Pain can be related to a mechanical fixable problem (hernia) and/or it can be related to conditions not mechanical. The difference in your pain, when you are sleeping versus awake indicates you may benefit from non-surgical, non-narcotic pain management. Be well. Okay to check in with your health care team.

Question 9

i had an inguinal hernia surgery 4 years back, i masturbated thrice and got pain, now when i walk on stairs i feel pressure beneath surgical area.

Accepted Answer

See my comment: Please see the surgeon who did the hernia, you may 
have a recurrence.
Self-stimulation has nothing to do with it.
