Brief Answer:
It is better to avoid for one more week

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, Hi
I can understand your concern.
Since you have undergone two surgical procedures on last Thursday, to be on safer side the act of masturbation should be deferred for another week.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
Wishing you a quick and smooth recovery.

I am starting to get frustrated because of this.
It won't be safe now for one time only would it?

Brief Answer:
There is no harm in doing masturbation

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for your reply.

I can understand your problem.
As such there is no harm in doing masturbation, however it is advisable to ask the surgeon who knows about the operative procedures to remove the polyp and to treat anal fissure before indulging in masturbation. I would like to know about the operative procedure before giving my opinion.

Awaiting your reply for better analysis and suggestion.

Best regards.
