Patient's question:
Weakness in the abdomen when standing, accompanied by pain. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Surgery has been scheduled and performed.

On the third day after the surgery, very small amounts of food have already been eaten, with normal (passing gas), but no bowel movement has occurred yet. Now, just able to get out of bed. How should one be encouraged to walk more?Doctor's answer:
After hernia surgery, it is advisable to walk more to prevent adhesions. However, when exercising, be careful not to increase abdominal pressure to avoid the surgical incision cracking. After hernia surgery, it is recommended to walk more, but not without restraint. If you experience pain or discomfort, you must rest. Avoid spicy foods. Specific treatment should be chosen by the local doctor based on the patient's specific condition.
