Patient's question:
My baby has finally had surgery to fix the hernia problem that has been tormenting him for a long time. However, to prevent the hernia from recurring and to ensure a complete recovery, without interfering with his future health, and to take good care of him, I would like to ask and understand what the diet menu is after hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Food issues after hernia surgery need to be paid attention to. Although a hernia surgery is a minor procedure, it still causes some interference to the body. After all, it is a form of spiritual trauma treatment. Therefore, ensuring adequate nutrition in the diet is crucial. Since gastrointestinal function may be slightly impaired after surgery, the meal plan should be easier to digest and absorb, rich in nutrients, with eggs as the main dish. Hernia patients can consume more foods that boost qi, such as lentils, Chinese yam, chicken, eggs, fish, and meat. Additionally, it is important to eat nutrient-rich foods, as these can help the abdominal wall heal faster. Eat more oranges, kiwis, apples, grapes, and other fruits, as well as whole grains, as these foods can aid in bowel movements and prevent constipation.
