Is it normal to masturbate after having an anal fistula surgery? I'm kinda worried if it might interfere with my healing. It's been around 1.5 months since my operation and the wound isn't fully healed yet.

Masturbation after an anal fistula operation should be approached with caution, especially if the wound is not fully healed. Engaging in activities that put pressure on the area could delay healing or cause discomfort. Its best to consult with your doctor for personalized advice based on your recovery progress.

I'm dealing with these recurring anal fissures, and it's really uncomfortable. Right now, they're not active, but I'm worried about them coming back again in the future. I've heard Ayurveda can help, and I'm interested in treatments that might stop this from happening. Any advice on what to try?
