Patient's question:
The baby has had a hernia for two years. Because they were young, they didn't have surgery to fix it. Now they're a bit older, and we're planning to get this condition treated for the child. Since the child is going to school, we can't take too long of a leave, so the treatment can't be too delayed. Hello, how long does it take to fully recover after hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
General hernia cases are commonly seen in inguinal hernias or umbilical hernias. Under normal circumstances, the stitches can be removed about 7 days after surgery. It is generally considered that children can return to school around two weeks after the operation. Specific advice is to consult with a general surgery department at a regular hospital for a follow-up examination. Based on the detailed examination results, consult with the attending physician and follow the doctor's medical advice for better treatment. Adjust physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
