Patient's question:
Grandpa's body is naturally old, and he just had a hernia surgery a few days ago. He is currently recovering at home. However, he has been craving pumpkin porridge lately. Can he eat pumpkin porridge after surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the elderly person has undergone hernia surgery and is currently resting at home. After hernia surgery, normal diet is allowed, and there is no problem with eating pumpkin porridge. It is recommended to drink more water, consume more vegetables, fruits, and fiber-rich foods to avoid constipation, which can increase intra-abdominal pressure. Additionally, it is necessary to avoid symptoms of urinary difficulties caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia in the elderly. Avoid physical labor and lifting heavy objects for three months. Also, avoid colds, coughs, and other respiratory issues.
