Patient's question:
Lately, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, sometimes accompanied by abdominal pain, constipation, and fatigue. In terms of sexual activity, I've also been feeling weak. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said I have a hernia, and it can be fixed by surgery. It's been a week since the surgery, and I want to ask how long it takes to recover after a hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of hernia, there are also things to pay attention to. Postoperative prevention of recurrence is necessary, especially during the first 6 months after surgery, which is the peak period for postoperative hernia recurrence. It is also necessary to prevent recurrence of activities that cause an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, including straining during bowel movements, constipation, lifting heavy objects, even strenuous exercise, as well as coughing, sneezing, and hiccups.Finally, during the treatment period, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
