Hello,

Stay at rest, avoid any strenuous exercises or work. Take at least 8 hours of quality sleep. Do not do any heavy work, do not drive. Keep yourself well hydrated and take fluids also. Take care of your hygiene, keep your private area clean and change your clothes regularly. Wear loose fitting cotton clothes.

Since your lower abdomen is sensitive, avoid masturbation and sex for at least 2 weeks from now. Give your internal organs adequate time to heal. When your symptoms of lower abdomen sensitivity decreases and you start feeling better, you can resume normal sex life.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
