Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling particularly uncomfortable with my lower abdomen, and I always feel the urge to use the restroom. I took some medicine, but it didn't seem to help much. Today, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have a hernia. He mentioned that surgery might be necessary, but is summer the best season for hernia surgery? Seeking clarification?Doctor's answer:
There is no specific best season for hernia surgery. If the hernia recurs, after a thorough examination, the surgery can be scheduled at any time. This is because the pain during hernia recurrence is very noticeable. Therefore, to prevent repeated recurrences, it is important to consider timely surgical intervention after the recurrence. After the surgery, patients should stay in the hospital for a few days to monitor inflammation and avoid excessive exercise within the first month.
