What precautions should be taken for incisional hernia?

Patient's question:

What should be paid attention to when adult incisional hernia occurs? I once had surgery, and recently a lump has reappeared near the incision site. What is going on? I had surgery before, and I recovered well afterward. But now this recurring situation is it a relapse?

Doctor's answer:

For the situation you described, adults who develop incisional hernias need to be cautious about lifting heavy objects, strenuous exercise, or even excessive force, which can lead to a series of symptoms. The primary treatment method is surgical intervention, where appropriate local use of mesh can be applied. Specific treatment requires clinical diagnosis and attention, as there is a possibility of complications post-surgery. It is important to prepare for potential work resumption.
