How to know if vomiting will recur on the day of a hernia surgery?

Patient's question:

My child has recently experienced swelling in her abdomen again, and she can't eat much. She has been lying in bed all day, completely inactive, with no energy. Sometimes she has diarrhea, so now I'm cautious about giving her anything to eat. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was discovered that she has an inguinal hernia, and surgery was performed to treat it. However, she experienced vomiting again on the same day. Does vomiting occur on the same day after a girl has inguinal hernia surgery?

Doctor's answer:

After Zheng Jingyu's hernia surgery, he experienced dry vomiting again. It is possible that the increased intra-abdominal pressure during vomiting could trigger the recurrence of the condition. Specific confirmation requires clinical diagnosis. In daily life, attention should be paid to maintaining a diet based on light and easily digestible foods, consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as green rough fiber foods, to avoid symptoms such as abdominal pain or even constipation. Additionally, heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided. It is advisable to follow clinical diagnosis and consult a doctor for the appropriate use of anti-emetic medications.
