A member asked:
Had scar tissue removed from a femoral hernia repair 2 weeks ago when is it safe to have sex?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
May have to wait: In general 3 wks is the time after surgery for any strenuous activity , if you consider sex as strenuous activity you may have to wait.

Minimum 3wks but 6: I would definitively ask your surgeon because there may be special circumstances but most wounds have 80% strength at 3 weeks and fully healed at 6 weeks. Certainly the degree of stress on the area during your sexual activities will also play a role.
