Patient's question:
I am a person with a high sex drive. Recently, 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 hernia surgery. How long after hernia surgery can I have sex?Doctor's answer:
Because you underwent a hernia surgery, hernia surgery is generally performed through wound repair to achieve complete recovery. Therefore, the complete recovery from hernia surgery is relatively fast. However, it is not advisable to engage in sexual activity too soon, as the surgery still has some impact on your body. Premature sexual activity may slow down your body's complete recovery. Additionally, during sexual activity, be mindful not to exert too much force to avoid excessive abdominal pressure, which could affect the repaired area of the hernia.
