Brief Answer:
Masturbation can not cause any problem after 3 years of surgery
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your short and specific query.
Notd the history well.
To answer your specific queries:
Since the hernia surgery was done 3 years ago nothing can damage mesh or dislocate hernia tacks. Not even masturbation.
Hence stop worrying.
Slight/mild pain at the site after mastubation can be due to:
Muscular strain as is common after sex or even masturbation.
Any sort of vigorous activity can cause muscular stretching and thus a mild pain.
Referred pain from scrotum due to any problem with epididymis and/or testes like inflammation, infection, partial torsion. Please watch for any urinary symptoms or tenderness in scrotum.
I hope this answer your query.
Please give feedback and feel free to ask for relevant queries if any.
Take care.
Be non-vigorous while doing masturbation/sex.

Brief Answer:
As detailed
Detailed Answer:
Tacks and mesh and such material being a foreign body becomes embedded in the fibrosis by body;s mechanism.
Since you were operated 3 years ago I do not think about anything can dislodge or dislocate.
So no symptoms related to your suspicion as per my knowledge and experience.
Consult a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation, examination to see for the cause of mild pain and be assured.
I hope this answer helps you.
