Hi, i wanted to ask if i could possibly masturbate without any danger of having my hernia returning because i had surgery? I think i made my hernia return with masturbation although im not sure but the pain continues.My inguinal hernia surgery was done at 24 September 2013 year and after 2 weeks i started masturbating since then to now, i mean almost everyday cause im addicted to it and once i thought it has come back but my doctor (who performed the surgery) said it hasnt. Tho almost year from my surgery i still continue to feel pain just as before the surgery happened, but before 1 week when i masturbated i felt like something ripped of from my abdomen where the hernia surgery happened and it really hurts even now so hard, im so scared of that i could have made my hernia come back with only masturbating, is that even possible?

Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, masturbation never causes any problem related to hernia. Its totally false belief. People have many false beliefs in their mind regarding the masturbation. The duct which causes ejaculation and anatomy of the hernia has totally no relation to one another. I advise you should not worry. Even though I have not examined you, but I am sure that masturbation never causes recurrence in hernia. Masturbation relaxes your desire and makes you tension free. It also provides you more concentration. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
