Is It Safe To Masturbate After Laproscopic Ovarian Cystectomy?

Hi, I had a laproscopic ovarian cystectomy performed on my left ovary that removed a large dermoid cyst and half my ovary. This was done on Monday 10/13 morning outpatient. I have not had any complications. I was told to have pelvic rest/no sex for two weeks. I was wondering if I can masturbate though, the masturbation would not consist of inserting anything, but I m still worried that doing so could cause a problem... Would it?
