Patient's question:
When can the thing that is stuck on after hernia surgery be taken off? How long does it take for the scar to heal? I am a 21-year-old male, and a patch is placed inside.Doctor's answer:
Your condition, as described, does not require the removal of the patch, so there is no need to worry. Normal function will return three months later. Since the hernia surgery prevents an increase in abdominal pressure, it is important to avoid early weight-bearing exercises. As long as the wound heals properly, the scar will gradually return to normal as the mesh is integrated. If you still experience other discomforts, it is important to have timely medical examinations, clinical diagnoses, and further detailed checks by abdominal surgeons to confirm the diagnosis and adopt comprehensive evaluation measures for treatment, which will help you recover.Wishing you lifelong health. In addition to treatment for male-related issues, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a cheerful mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
