Is it possible to have sexual intercourse after undergoing hydrocele surgery? After hydrocele surgery, it is usually recommended to wait about 2 or 3 weeks before engaging in sexual intercourse. However, this can vary between patients depending on the severity of the hydrocele and whether any complications have arisen. Therefore, it is always best to consult with a specialist and follow all their instructions.
