Patient's question:
My husband just had a hernia surgery, and the surgery was relatively successful. He is currently being closely monitored during recovery. The doctor said he is not allowed to eat dinner yet, and I don't know what he should eat in this situation or when he can start eating dinner again. Could you please tell me how long after hernia surgery someone can eat dinner in his condition?Doctor's answer:
This is for post-hernia surgery, primarily determining whether to perform hernia repair surgery or use a mesh for repair. It is important to pay attention to appropriate early ambulation after anesthesia wears off. Generally, (fāqì) is required before proper defecation. Additionally, it is necessary to focus on local care training to prevent long-term bed rest from causing abdominal bloating or even interfering with intestinal motility. Local control can be appropriately implemented to prevent recurrence, as the likelihood of hernia recurrence is relatively high.
