Patient's question:
Because my husband accidentally got a hernia and had surgery for it. He is currently in the state of just having finished the surgery. I want to ask about a few post-hernia surgery precautions? So that he doesn't experience any adverse reactions during the recovery process after the surgery, and I can take good care of him.Doctor's answer:
Hello:It is a pleasure to serve you. Based on the information you provided, after a hernia surgery, it is important to rest, change the dressing on time, and keep the wound clean and dry. Use antibiotics for 3-5 days to prevent infection. Avoid spicy, irritating, and fatty foods, and strictly prohibit alcohol consumption. Eat more vegetables and fruits to prevent constipation and maintain regular bowel movements. Try to avoid coughing as much as possible. If you cannot prevent coughing, gently press the wound while coughing. Avoid strenuous physical labor, lifting heavy objects, and intense exercise that increases abdominal pressure within three months to prevent a recurrence of the hernia. Wishing you good health!
