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 that it can be fixed. 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 still some precautions to be taken. After surgery, it is important to prevent recurrence. Especially within the first 6 months after surgery, this is the peak period for postoperative hernia recurrence. It is also necessary to pay attention to preventing activities that can cause a sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure, including straining during bowel movements, constipation, lifting heavy objects, even strenuous exercise, as well as coughing and hiccups.Finally, during the treatment period, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
