Cerclage and masturbation

I had a cerclage placed 2 weeks ago. The surgeon that placed the Cerclage said no sex from here on out but never said anything about masturbating. I had my check up last Friday and the Cerclage is still there and cervix is closed and I’ve been cleared to go back to work with no restrictions. However, I forgot to ask about if masturbating was okay. Has any one tried and everything turned out okay? I just don’t want to mess the Cerclage up in anyway. TIA.
