A member asked:

I am 2 weeks post bilateral salpingectomy. both tubes were completely removed. doctor only mentioned no tampons or intercourse for 4 weeks. would masturbation be okay at this point?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: My interpretation of the docs guidance is to avoid anything that would involve the internal structures. What you do outside them should be fine.
