Patient's question:
What preparations are needed before a hernia surgery? What causes this condition? How can it be prevented? First, what are the previous symptoms of this disease? Besides the preparations for a hernia surgery, what else is needed? Are there any preventive measures in daily life? I look forward to an explanation.Doctor's answer:
Hernia surgery is a routine small surgical procedure. If there is no recurrence of a kind of difficulty, before the surgery, you should fast and go to the hospital for some preliminary tests, such as blood tests, urine tests, coagulation tests, liver function tests, and electrocardiograms. At the same time, skin preparation should be done locally. This type of surgery generally does not require special reservations. You should exercise more in daily life, enhance nutrition, quit smoking and drinking, and keep bowel movements smooth to prevent excessive abdominal pressure.
