Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, my husband had surgery and is still in the hospital. I would like to ask for some advice. Hello, how long after a hernia surgery can one get out of bed?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, for the hernia surgery, we also need to pay attention to local protection, and we need to pay attention to the appropriate decision to get off the bed. However, we need to pay attention to proper local control to prevent work or reduce abdominal pressure. In daily life, we should pay attention to preventing various situations that can increase intra-abdominal pressure and are prone to occur, including severe cough. Generally, after surgery, if there are no abnormalities, you can get off the bed and engage in appropriate exercise about 3-5 days later, and the stitches can be removed about 7-10 days later. Such exercise can enhance intestinal peristalsis and slow down the time of. Full recovery takes about 2-3 months. Avoid spicy foods, avoid drinking beer, and always keep bowel movements smooth. Eat more vegetables and fruits. A light diet is the foundation.
