Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing lower abdominal pain, and the symptoms become more pronounced after exposure to cold. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with a hernia. I had surgery for it in the hospital. How long will it take for the pain to stop after the hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the pain will not be severe three days after the surgery. If, in addition to the pain symptoms, there is a need to promptly go to the hospital for a thorough examination to rule out the possibility of infection, it is advisable. If the pain symptoms are not particularly obvious, there should be no major issues. After the surgery, it is recommended to take many anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection. Temporarily avoid spicy and irritating foods after the surgery, as they may interfere with wound healing.
