Is it normal to masturbate after having an anal fistula surgery? I'm kinda worried if it might interfere with my healing. It's been around 1.5 months since my operation and the wound isn't fully healed yet.

Masturbation after an anal fistula operation should be approached with caution, especially if the wound is not fully healed. Engaging in activities that put pressure on the area could delay healing or cause discomfort. Its best to consult with your doctor for personalized advice based on your recovery progress.

It's understandable to be confused with conflicting diagnoses. Since you've been told both "piles" (hemorrhoids) and "condyloma" (anal warts), and your current doctor suggests surgery, it's crucial to get a second opinion and clarify the diagnosis and treatment options
