Patient's question:
I wasn't very good with my stomach and intestines before, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. They said it was a hernia, and then they prescribed me many medications for my stomach and intestines. I took them for a week, but it didn't get better. I wonder if it's still related to my diet. What dietary precautions should I take with a hernia?Doctor's answer:
In terms of diet, there are not too many restrictions for hernia. Avoid fatty and greasy foods, and avoid overeating. If you have a hernia, it's important to seek active treatment. With the advancement of modern medicine, the success rate of surgery is relatively high. There is also a minor surgery that allows you to return to normal work and life after two or three months of recovery. After surgery, appropriate activity is recommended to prevent adhesion, avoid heavy physical labor, and get plenty of rest. You can also take oral anti-inflammatory medications for preventive purposes.
