Hey guys,
I had a hernia op 2 years ago (inguinal on the right side), and as I occasionally jelq / kegel I thought I’d offer my advice, which is to LEAVE IT ALONE!
As someone who either has sex or masturbates at least once a day, I found it hard to get to sleep, and a few days post-op, was masturbating (gently) despite the pain it caused as it moved all the tissues about around the repair. If I ever need to go back for a re-fix, I’ll ask if the doc can give me something to suppress the horniness, and I guess I’ll train myself to leave my cock alone :-)
Once through the initial painkillers, I had a continual dull burning pain in my right ball and up the right side of my shaft. The doc told me this was because a nerve has been snagged, that it should calm down and there was nothing that could be done. Sure enough it eased off although it still returns. Could have been caused during op, but I can’t help thinking this could have been from me tugging away on the area and rubbing the patch against nerves whilst it was settling into place. I’m not too uncomfortable although sex can really hurt. I can’t help thinking I’m paying for my impatience with discomfort for the rest of my life. The payback of a month off could have been a lot!
Just wanted to make sure any other horny hernia sufferers take the warning - let it heal properly before doing anything - wanking, PE, sex.
