Should be OK: If the scar has healed, sexual intercourse or masturbation should be OK after 2 wks. Just avoid undue pressure to the surgical area.

Yes: If no pain or complications masturbation is okay. Sex with minimal effort and avoiding extreme intra-abdominal pressure may be okay

Inguinal hernia fix: Yes. If the area of surgery hurts or gets red, stop and see your doctor. Should be all healed up by now, just don't go too crazy.

Go for it: If no pain or complications masturbation is okay. Sex is fine but start slow and make sure you have no pain or swelling in the area of your surgery afterward. Look out for fever, bowel changes, or blood in stool.
