Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with a hernia two months ago and had surgery at the hospital. It has now been two months, and I feel like I'm recovering quite well. I wanted to ask, can I now have normal sexual activity? How long after hernia surgery can one resume sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Hernia surgery generally requires avoiding heavy physical labor within the first year. However, as long as recovery is good and there are no discomforts, sexual activity can be resumed. When this situation arises, it's important not to rush but to determine the timing based on individual health. Generally, sexual activity should be avoided for a short period to prevent delaying recovery. It usually takes about two months for the body to fully recover and for ejaculation to return to normal. Rest is highly recommended during this time.
