Patient's question:
I work in a factory because I am the sole breadwinner for my entire family, so I can't afford to fall ill. However, I was recently diagnosed with a hernia and have now successfully undergone surgery. I want to ask the doctor how long it will take to return to work after a hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, it is very important to rest more and enhance nutrition after a hernia surgery. Generally, it takes about a month for a full recovery after surgery, but it is best to rest for about three months. Full recovery usually takes about a year. After three months, you can do some heavier work, but it should be moderate and not overexert yourself. During the rest period, you should not do heavy work, but light daily activities are still allowed.
