Can I have sex after hernia surgery?

Patient's question:

I had hernia surgery about 20 days ago and haven't had sex with my wife since. She's really lonely now, and I'm also very eager. Now I'm too scared to do it, afraid it might not be good for the wound. I want to ask online doctors how long after hernia surgery can one have sex?

Doctor's answer:

You are young, you have a hernia, you had hernia surgery, over 20 days, the surgical incision has already healed completely, you must have had your stitches removed and been discharged. Your body has also made some recovery. Generally speaking, you can have sex two weeks after surgery. You can do some appropriate exercise. If you are active and it does not interfere with the surgical wound, you can have sex. It needs to be implemented gradually, and the intensity is controlled by yourself.
