Patient's question:
What are the precautions to pay attention to after inguinal hernia surgery? How many years after a child's inguinal hernia surgery can they practice taekwondo? What should be noted after a child's inguinal hernia surgery? How to care for it? What time period is prone to recurrence? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
After returning home from surgery within 1-2 days, it is recommended to rest in bed. You can place a sandbag weighing about 1 kilogram on the incision to help with wound healing and stop bleeding. Avoid a half-sitting position; instead, bend your knees to prevent an increase in abdominal pressure. When getting up, move slowly. If you feel dizzy when getting up, lying down can help alleviate the symptom. Maintain normal bowel and bladder function after surgery and avoid excessive force.
