Patient's question:
My husband is currently undergoing hernia surgery. The doctor said it's a relatively simple procedure, but I still want to give him the best care possible to help him recover quickly. I'd like to ask what precautions I should take at work after his hernia surgery last night?Doctor's answer:
After hernia surgery, it is important to keep the incision and surrounding skin clean and dry at all times. Maintain a clean and tidy bed unit and clothing to prevent infection. Additionally, adjust your diet structure by avoiding milk, soy milk, and other gas-producing foods. Do not eat spicy, irritating, or inflammatory foods. When experiencing significant pain, follow medical advice and use pain relief medication. Monitor temperature changes, drink plenty of water to promote blood circulation, and seek medical attention promptly for any discomfort.
