tonsillectomy aftercare
Posted: 03-30-08 17:25pm

I had my tonsils removed on March 25, 2008. since then I have had no bleeding. My question is this: when is it safe for me to masturbate. I am a woman if that helps.

WHAT!?

How is masturbation connected to your tonsils? How could masturbation possibly affect your tonsilectomy? I mean, unless you're in the habit of loudly screaming when you masturbate. I can't see how you could do ANY harm.

Now, performing oral sex on a man is probably NOT a good idea.

what i am worried about is bleeding. reason being is that they say vigorous activity may elevate blood pressure and put strain on neck and may cause the scab to burst prematurely. i am wondering if this could happen. I am sure it won't but i don't want to risk.

thanks!!

Well how long did he tell you to wait? You could also have a relaxed masturbation session. I'm pretty sure your doctor meant no marathon running, lifting 1,000 lbs weights, or running away from bank robberies.
