Patient's question:
I recently got a hernia, but since my company is in a period of growth, I'm quite busy every day and don't have time to get treatment. However, this condition still needs to be treated, so I wanted to ask you how long the surgical treatment for a hernia typically takes?Doctor's answer:
Surgical treatment for hernia generally lasts for 7 to 9 days. We need one day for preparation before the surgery, and the surgery itself is usually completed on the same day. After the surgery, if there is no infection, we can remove the stitches in 7 to 9 days. Therefore, the entire course of the illness is 7 to 9 days. If you need to take additional leave, it is best to request about ten days off. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to personal habits and maintain a healthy diet.
