Patient's question:
A year ago, due to sudden lower back pain, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with a hernia. At that time, the hernia surgery was performed in the hospital. However, recently, the surgical area has again experienced pain. What could be the reason for some pain a year after the hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
After a hernia repair, it is generally normal to experience localized short-term pain again. If localized pain symptoms reappear after a year, it may be due to local suture reaction or local inflammation. Therefore, you should go to the surgical department of a hospital to see a doctor, identify the specific cause of the pain, and then receive targeted treatment. In addition, patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
