A member asked:
I had a bi lateral orchiopexy for an intermittent torsion done 6 days ago. is it safe to masturbate as long as im gentle on the stitches? will ejaculating hurt the recovery process?

Masturbation will not affect the repair or recovery. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines

I would suggest you wait a week or two more for no matter how gentle you are you could touch the healing area and have pain. Ejaculation will not hurt. Patience is a virtue. I am sure you have it.
