Does hernia surgery generally affect sexual life?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I'd like to ask you about this hernia surgery—how is it performed? Will the hernia surgery interfere with sexual life? Does my surgery require major incisions, or is it just minimally invasive? I hope you can tell me, thank you.

Doctor's answer:

This requires attention to sexual activity, as there is a possibility of recurrence within 6 months after hernia surgery, and it is important to avoid strenuous exercise. At the same time, it is necessary to focus on a light and easily digestible diet, and to avoid strenuous activities such as severe coughing, running, and jumping, as these can easily lead to recurrence. During sexual activity, attention should also be paid to posture to prevent situations that may cause an increase in buoyancy pressure from recurring. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a cheerful mood. Only a positive attitude and adequate sleep can help you quickly recover from illness.
