Patient's question:
A week ago, I kept experiencing groin pain, and after some tests, it was diagnosed as a severe hernia. I then had a hernia surgery. For a week, I haven't had sex with my girlfriend, and it's been really painful. So, how long after hernia surgery can I have sex?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is one of the most common diseases in clinical diagnosis of general surgery, and surgery is also the most effective method for treating adult hernias. According to your condition description, you have already undergone hernia surgery and have not had sex with your girlfriend for a week. Based on the timeline, your current appendectomy should still have stitches or have just been recently removed. Since sexual activity requires intense mutual cooperation between both partners, it is absolutely not possible to engage in sexual activity under these circumstances. You must wait until the wound's granulation tissue has fully healed before resuming sexual activity. It is recommended to consider resuming sexual activity after about a month.
