How long does it take to recover after a hernia surgery?

Patient's question:

My grandfather had a hernia surgery a few weeks ago. In the past few days, he still feels a bit uncomfortable. I don't know how long it will take for him to recover after the hernia surgery.

Doctor's answer:

Because if a hernia is not treated in time or not thoroughly, it is very likely to cause some secondary complications. Therefore, after being diagnosed with a hernia, it is best to decide on surgical treatment. Generally, patients will gradually recover 2 to 3 months after hernia surgery. It is recommended to pay close attention to diet after surgery and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. Try to eat less sweet foods and sweet drinks, such as chocolate, cream cakes, ice cream, Coca-Cola, etc.
