How long after hernia surgery can you have sex?

Patient's question:

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

Doctor's answer:

You are young and have a hernia. You had hernia surgery, and after more than 20 days, the surgical incision has completely healed. You must have had your stitches removed and been discharged from the hospital. Your body has also made a certain degree of full recovery. Generally, you can resume sexual activity two weeks after surgery. You can engage in some light exercise. If the activity does not interfere with the surgical wound, you can proceed with sexual activity. It should be done gradually, and the intensity should be controlled by yourself.
