Patient's question:
Haha, this is a bit embarrassing to bring up. I'm 28 years old, and due to personal reasons, I just had a hernia surgery. I've been counting the days, and it's been about 8 days now. As an adult, loneliness can be hard to bear, and I'm thinking of giving myself a hand job. I'm not sure, so please don't judge, but will this interfere with the complete and successful recovery after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
I suggest you try to quit the habit of masturbation as soon as possible. Whether you have had surgery or not, masturbation should be avoided because the habit of masturbation can cause significant harm to the body. It can lead to various complications of masturbation, such as urinary tract infections, impotence and premature ejaculation, abnormal development of the penis, prostatitis, and varicocele, all of which are closely related to the habit of masturbation. Especially now that you have just finished surgery and your body has not fully recovered, masturbation will cause greater harm to your body.
