Is Masturbation Advisable While Recovering From An Abscess In Scrotum?
I had an abscess removed under my scrotum 2 days ago. I went today to follow up with my urologist and had the packing removed. He said I should take warm baths twice a day and should be healed in about 2 - 3 weeks. I know sex is out of the questions but can I masterbate?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. It would be advisable to strictly avoid any form of sexual activity including masturbation for first 2 weeks as it could hamper the healing process from the drained abscess. It would be ideal to resume sexual activities after 3 weeks, by which time the wound would have healed completely. Kindly take care to keep wound clean and dry, which would help to heal the wound quickly. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
