Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I would like to ask a question. Recently, my husband had a hernia surgery, and the surgery went smoothly. He is now recovered and has been discharged for over a month. The doctor advised him to avoid heavy labor and intense activities at home. Could you please tell me how long after hernia surgery can one have sex?Doctor's answer:
Need to pay attention to the risk of recurrence within six months after hernia surgery, and also need to pay attention to avoiding heavy lifting. Various exercises that can increase intra-abdominal pressure are not recommended to be excessive. It is appropriate to selectively engage in activities, but attention should still be paid to posture. Additionally, it is important to drink more water appropriately and maintain regular bowel movements to prevent recurrence of constipation and increased intra-abdominal pressure. Avoid the recurrence of symptoms such as colds and coughs.
