Patient's question:
I have an inguinal hernia on the right side, and the hernia has already descended into the scrotum. The surgery was performed two days ago in the afternoon, and I am still in the hospital. What should I pay attention to now, for example, what to eat, and can I walk to the bathroom?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your situation is related to issues after inguinal hernia surgery. This condition is due to congenital weakness of the abdominal wall and is related to fatigue. You can move your legs a few times after the surgery, but make sure not to overexert yourself. Pay attention to a proper balance of diet and nutrition, and avoid picky eating. Always maintain a cheerful mood, and it's okay to take a short walk. Avoid consuming greasy, fried, spicy, roasted, very cold, or hard foods. It's best to eat until you are about 80% full. This type of condition is not easy to recover from. Friends who suffer from this should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in fighting the condition and believe that recovery is certain.
