When I masterbate or have sex it burns in the stiched area. There is no bulge in there. I have been seen by a doctor she said there is no hernia. My sergeon said it s a scar pain. I am worried it s been 7 months and the burning did not go away. Thruout the day I feel discomfort in there but I am worried about the burning sensation Doctor: Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.Yes, it is probably a scar pain. Its  unfortunate that you have landed up with such a problem. It occurs cause during sex there is an increased abdominal pressure and this increased pressure can lead to stretch on the earlier sutured area. You may take paracetamol for the mild pains. You may also take carbamazepine or amitriptyline for modifying the pain.
