Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with an inguinal hernia of the small intestine. At the doctor's recommendation, I have undergone surgical treatment and have made a good recovery. I am preparing to be discharged tomorrow. The doctor said that the diet after surgery is very important. How should the diet be adjusted after small intestine hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Small intestine hernia surgery should initially consume some liquid and semi-liquid foods, such as eating rice porridge, millet porridge, noodles, and drinking rice soup to nourish the body. As the body gradually recovers, you can also appropriately eat other foods to nourish the body. In terms of diet, it is mainly important to avoid greasy and hard-to-digest foods, as well as spicy, irritating, and extremely cold foods, to prevent worsening the symptoms.
