Q: how long after vp shunt placement surgery can you masterbate or have sex again?

: Depends. If you have a shunt placed without an incision in abdomen, then there are no specific restriction, and you can resume these activities when you feel like it. With an abdominal incision, you should wait until the incision is healed before sex resumes.
