Patient's question:
I work in a factory because I am the sole breadwinner for my entire family, so I absolutely cannot fall ill. However, I was recently diagnosed with a hernia and have now successfully undergone surgery. I want to ask the doctor how long it will take before I can return to work after a hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, after the hernia surgery, it is important to pay attention to getting plenty of rest and enhancing nutrition. Generally, it takes about a month for a full recovery after surgery, but it is best to rest for about three months. Full recovery usually occurs after one year. After three months, you can engage in slightly heavier work, but it is important to do so moderately and not overexert yourself. During the rest period, heavy work is not allowed, but light daily activities are still possible.
