Patient's question:
Half a month ago, I accidentally discovered some pain in both groin areas. Besides the feeling of heaviness, it seemed like something was flowing there when I touched it. Then I went to the hospital immediately. After a thorough examination, it was found that I had an inguinal hernia. Then surgery was performed immediately to treat both inguinal hernias. What should I do if there is an infection after the bilateral inguinal hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
For recurrent local infection after hernia surgery, it is necessary to strictly follow medical advice for regular dressing changes to resolve the issue. Additionally, it is important to avoid strenuous exercise and follow medical advice for regular dressing changes, as well as to ensure proper local skin care while working. Local infections are prone to lead to incisional hernias. It is also necessary to pay attention to enhancing nutritional intake, consuming more protein-rich foods appropriately, and ruling out causes such as high blood sugar.
