I recently had inguinal hernia surgery about five days ago and I'm wondering how I should be taking care of myself right now. How long does this recovery process typically take? Also, is it safe for me to masturbate if I'm not experiencing any pain?
After inguinal hernia surgery, follow your surgeon's specific instructions, but generally, for 4-6 weeks, avoid heavy lifting, bending, or strenuous activities, take pain medication as prescribed, and keep the incision site clean and dry; regarding masturbation, it's generally recommended to avoid any activity that may cause discomfort, tension, or strain on the surgical site for 2-4 weeks, so wait until your surgeon clears you for such activities, usually during the follow-up appointment.
