Patient's question:
Because my husband accidentally got a hernia and had surgery for it. He is currently in the state of just having finished the surgery. I want to ask about a few post-hernia surgery precautions? So that during his recovery process, he doesn't experience any adverse reactions again, and I can take good care of him.Doctor's answer:
Hello:It is a pleasure to serve you. Based on the situation you described, after a hernia surgery, it is important to rest, change the dressing on time, and keep the wound clean and dry. Use antibiotics for 3-5 days to prevent infection. Avoid spicy, irritating, and fatty foods, and strictly prohibit alcohol consumption. Eat more vegetables and fruits to prevent constipation and maintain regular bowel movements. Try to avoid coughing as much as possible. If you cannot prevent coughing, gently press the wound before coughing. Avoid strenuous physical labor, lifting heavy objects, or intense exercise that increases abdominal pressure within three months to prevent a recurrence of the hernia. Wishing you good health!
