Patient's question:
I am 30 years old and have previously undergone traditional hernia surgery. Recently, my condition has worsened, and the doctor recommended a hernia repair patch. Hello, have any of you had a hernia repair patch? How was your experience? Did you experience any discomfort? Will the hernia repair patch fall off?Doctor's answer:
Hernia repair generally never peels off, but it may reoccur or flare up again. The recurrence usually occurs at the edge of the hernia repair, and it may also lead to a re-emergence of a hernia. However, overall the probability is not very high, approximately around 10%. After the surgery, there will absolutely be no discomfort. For current hernias, it is necessary to consider and arrange for surgical treatment, as other methods have a higher probability of recurrence. Strict treatment almost guarantees recurrence.
