Is Masturbation Safe After A Scrotal Hernia Surgery?
Hello, I am 23 and had an inguinal scrotal hernia (open) surgery 7 days back. I have a 6 cm to 7 cm incision near my groin with some staples on it. My doctor removed some of the staples and left a few for the wound to heal, I have minimal pain. I feel the urge to masturbate as I have not ejaculated for 15 days. Is it safe to do so now and will it effect the repair of the surgery? Will it damage the healing of the incision and the internal structure? Thank you for your time!

Hello. There should be no problem with your masturbating at this point. That won't affect either the incision or the internal repair
