marijuana after hydrocelectomy

I had a hydrocelectomy 3 days ago and am wondering if it would be safe to smoke a little bit of marijuana. I ask because ive have heard it can lead to the wound healing slowly,and blood clots. I havent found any definitive answer online. By the way the pain has been almost non-existent after the first day so havent needed vicodin since yesterday.

Hello,
Since you had the hydrocelectomy just 3 days prior, hence it is better to avoid smoking marijuana for some days till there is complete healing. You can smoke marijuana only after consulting your operating surgeon.


It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
