Patient's question:
Because a hernia was detected after a thorough examination, the doctor recommended having a hernia surgery next week. I want to understand what needs to be paid attention to after the hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hernia refers to the symptom where an organ or organ prolapse returns to its normal anatomical position. After surgery, patients need to understand the prognosis techniques: 1. They should lie flat in bed to avoid increased abdominal pressure. 2. If the patient experiences wound pain, they can take prescribed pain medication. If nausea occurs again, it is recommended to fast for four hours. 3. If complications reappear, such as wound breakdown, redness, swelling, pain, exudate, or fever, they should seek medical attention promptly. 4. The wound needs to be covered with cosmetic tape, gauze, and a transparent film. 5. After surgery, the wound should not get wet. Bathing is allowed five days later. 6. The transparent film and gauze can be removed six days later. Rest more.
