Am I likely to lose any grafts due to masturbation and sex?

May 14, 2016
Asked By:sameerk123 in Oman, OM

I am now on my 25th day of post-op. I have a transplant of 2700 grafts. I srarted masturbation on 5th day post-op till 9th day post-op and then on 11th day onwards till my 20th post-op day I did sex with my girlfriend safely without having touched the donor and the recipient area. Now I am worried about my grafts. Does sex or masterbation effects the transplanted grafts?? Do they both weaken the grafts or any chance of losing grafts?? Did I do something wrong?? Please make me clear about this.
