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. How long after a hernia surgery can a person 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 of getting off the bed, but 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. Under normal circumstances, after surgery, if there is no abnormality, 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 maintain bowel regularity. Eat more fruits and vegetables. A light diet should be the foundation.
