Sexual intercourse after laparoscopic surgery for hernia should be analyzed according to the wound healing condition and whether the patch has undergone rejection reaction, which can be around 1 to 3 months or even longer.
If the general condition after hernia surgery is good, urination and defecation is smooth, diet is normal and there is no complication such as fat liquefaction or infection in the wound, and there is no rejection reaction of the patch, it is more reasonable to have sex 1 month after the surgery.
However, if the postoperative incision is infected or fat liquefaction occurs, and the implanted patch shows obvious rejection reaction, it is necessary to strengthen the incision dressing treatment. For those with patch infection, the patch needs to be removed, otherwise it will result in surgical failure.
This situation requires a longer time to recover, and it is recommended to have sex at least 3 months after the operation.
