Patient's question:
My friend's son is 12 years old this year. A few days ago, he had a thorough medical examination at the hospital. The doctor said he had a hernia and needed surgery. The family is very worried. How serious is this condition? I would like to consult for her a few times. What are the routine postoperative care measures for a hernia?Doctor's answer:
For patients who have undergone hernia surgery, it is necessary to continue with local care and avoid getting out of bed too early, especially by ensuring proper local care to prevent local complications. Attention should also be paid to making appropriate decisions, such as drinking more water and eating fresh vegetables and fruits, to prevent constipation and other symptoms from recurring, as these are the main causes of complications. Avoid strenuous exercise and jumping in the first 6 months after surgery, as this is a high-risk period.
