Patient's question:
Three months ago, I had a hernia surgery. The attending doctor said that I should not engage in strenuous exercise within three months. However, it has now been three months, and the wound area still hurts. I had an ultrasound done, and it said everything is fine. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, this is likely due to abnormal sensation at the surgical incision following a hernia operation. Since the methods for hernia surgery vary, some involve tension-free repair where a hernia mesh and plug are placed under the incision, and in some cases, symptoms like yours may reappear. There's no need to worry. The ultrasound examination didn't reveal anything significant, so you should gradually and fully recover. The above is advice for this issue, and we hope it helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
