Patient's question:
I've had hernia surgery for several days, but I still feel a bit swollen and sometimes a bit painful. What's going on? How long does the swelling usually last after a hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
If you have been feeling red, swollen, and painful, there may be an infection. It is recommended to observe carefully. If these symptoms recur and worsen, it is advised to seek medical treatment immediately and not to try to solve the problem on your own. If you are undergoing traditional surgery, postoperative pain usually lasts for about half a month, with some experiencing pain for about a month. This is determined by individual tolerance, but it is best to maintain a good routine in daily life.
