Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling very uncomfortable with my lower abdomen, and I always feel the urge to use the restroom. I took some medicine, but it didn't help much. Today, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have a hernia. He mentioned that I might need surgery, but it's summer now—is this the best season for hernia surgery? Seeking clarification?Doctor's answer:
There is no specific best season for hernia surgery. If a hernia recurs, after a thorough examination, the surgery can be scheduled at any time. This is because the pain during a hernia recurrence is very noticeable. Therefore, to prevent repeated recurrences, it is important to consider timely surgical intervention after the recurrence. After the surgery, patients should stay in the hospital for a few days to monitor inflammation and avoid excessive exercise within the first month.
