How long after hernia surgery can I go back to work?

Patient's question:

My relative went to the hospital for a hernia surgery these days. Hello, how long does a hernia surgery take to treat?

Doctor's answer:

Hernia is a common surgical disease in clinical diagnosis. If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment should be adopted promptly. Since hernia can recur after surgery, it is essential to enhance postoperative care and pay attention to rest. Under normal circumstances, if the incision heals well, the stitches can be removed 7 days after surgery. However, excessive strenuous activity should be avoided, and normal treatment can only be resumed one month after surgery.
