Yes, OK: Should be ok. Don't bang on the incision. If the incision hurts when you get started, wait a few days and try again .

A 55-year-old male asked:
Is it possible for a right sided inguinal hernia to cause the right testicle to swell? This is before surgery and I am asking specifically about the testicle not necessarily the scrotum. Thank you?

The testicle itself does not swell in an inguinal hernia. But if the hernia reaches the area it might appear to be swollen.

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.
