Patient's question:
Hernia surgery over a month ago, left leg swollen. Left inguinal surgery performed. Now feeling extremely painful, even I can't get out of bed or walk. Just a slight strain makes it feel like it's about to break off. Now I just want to know what to do about leg swelling after hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the recurrence of leg edema after hernia repair surgery, further careful examination is needed to identify the specific cause of the leg edema. If the leg edema is on the left side, it is important to note that the surgery cannot be ruled out as a result of excessive local traction. If there is significant pain after getting out of bed, further careful examination and follow-up are necessary to rule out the possibility of a lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.
