Hello, I had my surgery 4 days ago (liposuction only) and I woke up today feeling really great. My doctor told me no sex for 2 weeks but I'm wondering if there is any harm in masturbation?

Answer: I am sure it is fine. i also think that your surgeon is being quite conservative expecting you not to have sex for 2 weeks. i think it is very unlikely that having sex (obviously you have to use some commonsense and you are not going to set some Olympic record) will cause bleeding after your surgery. i allow my patients to have sex much sooner and i ask that they try not to get their heart rates way up for too long during the first week. however, even then it is unlikely to cause bleeding. i am sure you will be fine.david berman md
