Question : How long should I wait to masturbate after having a oophorectomy through laparotomy? Is Clitoral stimulation ok with no penetration? I feel like a teenager again after my surgery and it's driving me crazy!

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Ten days after oopherectomy if your abdominal stitches are not painful you can easily masturbate. It is not harmful for you as long as it does not cause you any pain.
Clitorial stimulation without penetration can be done safely.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
