Patient's question:
I am a person with a high sex drive. These past few days, I haven't had sexual activity because I had surgery in the hospital. After being discharged, I miss my wife very much and can't wait to have sex right now. However, the doctor didn't tell me how long I need to rest after the surgery. How long after a hernia surgery can I have sex?Doctor's answer:
Because you have undergone a hernia surgery, hernia surgery is generally performed through wound repair to achieve complete recovery. Therefore, the complete recovery after hernia surgery is relatively fast. However, it is not advisable to engage in sexual activity too soon, as the surgery still has a certain impact on your body. Premature sexual activity may slow down your body's complete recovery. Additionally, during sexual activity, pay attention to not overexert yourself to avoid excessive abdominal pressure, which may affect the repaired area of the hernia.
