Patient's question:
When I was young, my mother told me that I had a hernia and underwent surgery. Now that I've grown up, I often feel some pain in my old wound, and sometimes it even swells up. Could it be that the condition has returned? Hello. Does it easily recur after a hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is one of the most common general surgical diseases in clinical diagnosis. The treatment of hernia is primarily based on surgical intervention. According to your description of your condition, you had a hernia surgery when you were a child. Generally, it is rare for hernia to recur after surgery, but it cannot be ruled out that if you do not pay attention to your lifestyle after the operation and frequently experience a decrease in intra-abdominal pressure, it can still lead to the recurrence of hernia. Currently, there is still a bulge at the wound site, so it is possible that the hernia has recurred.
