How Long After Hernia Surgery Can Sexual Intercourse Be Resumed?

It has been two weeks since my hernia surgery with mesh. My Doctor told me to wait 4 weeks to have intercourse with my wife. I feel very good now. Was wondering if my wife & i could bring each other to orgasm without intercourse. Would that be okay for my surgery?

Hello,

For men, the scrotum may be discolored, tender, or significantly swollen after surgery. The swelling should subside within a week. You may be able to resume normal activity, including sexual intercourse, in as little as a week, but it can take longer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera,
