A member asked:
I just have a surgery a month ago for acute appendicitis with perforation. is it safe to smoke and masterbate as my whole abdomen was stiched?

So two issues smoking and abdominal stress on the muscle wall after surgery. Is it safe to smoke - NO ! Can you get away with it when the wound it closed - yes. Is the wound closed at four weeks well nearly you need to ask your surgeon. Nicotine restricts the blood vessels by 80% so that healing tissues only get 1/5th of the blood they need to heal. it can take 5x longer to heal if you smoke.
