Patient's question:
Three months have passed since I had my hernia surgery. During this time, without the torment of the disease, I feel that life is incredibly easy. Then yesterday, I discovered a terrible thing: my hernia has reappeared again. What should I do if the hernia surgery recurs?Doctor's answer:
Postoperative complications after hernia surgery are relatively common. The causes of complications are related to both the surgical method and your lifestyle after surgery. Currently, the most commonly used surgical method is hernia repair, where a hernia repair patch is placed on the surgical wound. The hernia patch can enhance local tension and reduce the recurrence rate. On the other hand, it is also important to pay attention to personal care after surgery. If there is excessive abdominal pressure in a short period of time, such as constipation, lifting heavy objects, or intense exercise, it can easily lead to a recurrence of the hernia. Once a hernia recurs, it requires a second surgery for treatment.
