Patient's question:
The child is 6 years old and had a hernia surgery yesterday. What dietary restrictions should be followed after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
After having a hernia surgery, the diet should be light. Therefore, spicy and stimulating foods should not be consumed after the surgery. Spicy foods are forbidden after hernia surgery, except for some allergenic foods, such as seafood. Avoid eating overly greasy foods as well, as these can affect intestinal gas and may lead to difficulty in normal bowel movements due to poor metabolism. It is also advisable to eat less of foods like beans.
