Patient's question:
A few days ago, I noticed a heavy pain in the groin area, feeling as if something were about to fall out from there. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was discovered that I had a hernia, and I then decided to have hernia surgery. Ten days after the small intestine hernia surgery, is it okay if I experience nocturnal emissions? Will it affect the normal and complete recovery after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the recurrence of nocturnal emissions after hernia surgery, it is normal. In daily life, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoiding unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits, drink more water appropriately, and always maintain bowel regularity. Chronic constipation with repeated episodes can lead to straining during defecation, which is one of the main causes of hernia recurrence. It is also important to avoid strenuous exercise, as it may trigger a hernia. Nocturnal emissions can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period, with the hope that male patients can recover quickly!
