Dr. James Lin answered

Here are some...: Oral sex 5 days after bilat inguinal herniorrhaphy shouldn't affect the healing of incision and surgical sites, but at reaching orgasm muscle tension may induce the pain. So you may try and see as long as realizing such reality. Besides, pain perception widely varies among people.
