Does masturbating after varicocele surgery mess everything up?
Hey guys I had varicocele surgery about 12 days ago. I was told no heavy lifting. However, I did masturbate yesterday because I just could not stop any longer. Do you know if this was fine? My urologist yesterday did tell me no heavy lifting for another 7 days but never said anything about masturbation.
I read online that they say no sexual activity for 7 days, some say 2 weeks, some 3 and some 1 month. Would masturbation be somewhat the same as sex in terms of waiting after surgery from activities? Someone on some forum I read last year said he masturbated after 2 weeks and then had do the whole procedure again b/c the urologist did not say anything about masturbation.
Does anyone here know if I could have messed up everyday by masturbating about 14-15 days after surgery?
I’m getting very worried now. I masturbated 2 days ago yesterday as well so that meant 2 days in a row of masturbating about 15 days after the varicocele surgery. I noticed when I woke up in the afternoon today that my testicles look like it still has that sack of worms. 2 days ago when it was 15 days into the surgery, I did not see the varicocele. Could I have complicated it again?? I am so pissed off right now that I couldn’t hold off masturbating any longer. I also saw some dried up stain of blood on the left side of my inner leg.
All the doctor said was no heavy lifting for another 7 days but did not mention masturbation. Right now I notice a bit of pain on my left side of the testicle. The only good thing about me masturbating was that I when I ejaculated, I released a lot of semen like I never have since before the accident. I’m suppose to see doctor again in 6 weeks. Should I give him a call or see him earlier and tell him I am worried that my masturbation could have harmed the process and I might need to do another surgery?
