Patient's question:
My friend's son is 12 years old this year. A few days ago, he had a thorough medical examination at the hospital. The doctor said he had a hernia and needed surgery. The family is very worried. How serious is this condition? I would like to consult on behalf of her. What are the routine post-surgery care measures for a hernia?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the postoperative care for hernia surgery, it is necessary to continue with local care and avoid getting out of bed too early. Pay special attention to local care to prevent local complications. Additionally, make appropriate decisions, drink plenty of water, and consume fresh vegetables and fruits to prevent constipation and other symptoms, as these are the main causes of complications. Avoid strenuous exercise and jumping during the first six months after surgery, as this is the high-risk period.
