Patient's question:
My mom just had hernia surgery a couple of days ago. I don't really understand, I want to know how long it takes to fully recover after hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
The time it takes for a patient to fully recover after surgery varies from person to person. Some patients, with weaker immune systems, may take a longer time to recover, requiring about one to two months to rest and recuperate before they can effectively return to normal.Hernia is generally considered to be related to qi deficiency and sinking middle qi. After undergoing hernia surgery, it is necessary to rest for at least about one week. The body will gradually heal during this time. It is important to avoid strenuous activities after the surgery, as prolonged intense exercise can affect the complete recovery of the surgical wound and may lead to a recurrence of infection.
