Patient's question:
My husband just had a hernia surgery, and the surgery was relatively successful. He is currently in the recovery period and being closely monitored. The doctor said he is not allowed to eat dinner yet. I don't know what he should eat in this condition or how long it will take before he can have dinner. Could you please tell me how long it usually takes for someone to eat dinner after hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
This is for post-hernia surgery, mainly determining whether to perform hernia repair surgery or use a mesh for repair. It is important to pay attention to appropriate early mobilization after anesthesia wears off. Generally, defecation should be appropriate after. Additionally, it is necessary to pay attention to local care training to prevent long-term bed rest from causing abdominal bloating, or even interfering with intestinal movement. Local control can be appropriately implemented to prevent complications, as the likelihood of hernia recurrence is relatively high.
