How to Relieve Lower Back Pain After Hernia Surgery

Patient's question:

I have a hernia, so I went to the hospital for surgery. For a few days after the surgery, I rested in bed. Later, I didn't move around much. I've been feeling lower back pain, and recently started working again. I find that standing for a long time makes my back hurt. I used to not have any lower back pain habits, and I'm not sure if something went wrong with the surgery?
What kind of help I need: How should I care for myself after a hernia surgery?

Doctor's answer:

I have a hernia, so I went to the hospital for surgery. For a few days after the surgery, I stayed in bed resting. Later, I didn't walk much either. I started feeling lower back pain, and recently, I've already started going back to work. I feel that standing for a long time makes my lower back hurt. I used to not have a habit of lower back pain, but the symptoms caused by the hernia usually lead to a lump and pain in the groin area. Rest more, enhance nutrition, and eat more eggs and meat. It's best to have surgical treatment in the general surgery department of the hospital. It can heal on its own, and it won't be very complicated. The treatment method is generally surgical to achieve the goal of a complete cure. As for which method to use for treatment depends on your specific condition.
