Patient's question:
Last week, I noticed two swollen lumps in my groin area when I touched it. Sometimes I also experience constipation and have no appetite. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was a hernia and that surgery was needed. The surgery was performed on the third day, but eight days later, I still felt severe pain in the groin. Hello, is it a postoperative complication that I still feel severe pain eight days after the hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
If a hernia is diagnosed clearly, it requires a high-ligation of the hernial sac + tension-free repair surgery. If mild pain reappears after the surgery, it's usually not a problem, mainly related to postoperative local adhesions and scars. However, if the symptoms are significant, it's necessary to rule out other possible causes and conduct timely MRI and related examinations to clarify the situation. Avoid strenuous exercise within two months after the surgery to prevent recurrence.
