Can children walk after inguinal hernia surgery?

Patient's question:

My child has had a hernia for a long time. The doctor recommended that we have surgery. We just had the hernia surgery today, and the doctor was quite busy and didn't have time to ask many things. Could you please tell me if it's okay to walk after pediatric hernia surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this parent, the pediatric hernia surgery you consulted can allow normal walking, but it is necessary to avoid strenuous activity and abdominal high pressure to prevent recurrence. Generally, it is necessary to prohibit children from crying and increasing abdominal pressure, which may lead to hernia recurrence. Proper activity is necessary, but the activity must be limited. Extend the postoperative time for the baby, Zhu Jian, strengthen activity, and exercise intensity.
