Patient's question:
A while ago, I had some physical issues and needed to go to the hospital for surgery. It was related to a hernia. However, three months have passed since the surgery. But recently, I feel a bit numb around the wound. Hello, I had a femoral hernia surgery two months ago, and the wound area is still numb. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, hernia surgery is relatively simple and does not have severe complications recurring. Moreover, according to your current medical history, your hernia surgery has been successfully completed for over three months. Currently, you are experiencing numbness around the wound, which is very rare. If the numbness had appeared a few days after surgery, it would be easier to explain—it would be a normal response from the healing tissues. However, since you are experiencing numbness three months post-surgery, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor for a follow-up examination.
