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 should it be cared for? What time period is prone to recurrence? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Within 1-2 days after returning home from surgery, it is recommended to rest in bed. You can place a sandbag weighing about 1 kilogram on the incision site 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 standing up, lying down can alleviate the symptom. Maintain regular bowel and bladder movements after surgery and avoid straining excessively.
