What should I do after a hernia surgery?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I had an inguinal hernia surgery, but I've always been unsure about how to care for it afterwards. What should I do after inguinal hernia surgery?

Doctor's answer:

After hernia surgery, rest in bed is the foundation. If there are pain symptoms, non-steroidal drugs can be taken to promote blood circulation. After treatment, it can be completely restored to a normal state of life. A light diet should be the basis, avoiding the intake of irritating foods. Regular follow-up checks should be conducted, and antibiotics should be used to prevent infections. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
