Two days ago, I just had a groin hernia operation. My body has always been very weak and I don't want to eat anything.

Next, I'd like to talk about the precautions after inguinal hernia surgery.

What are the precautions after inguinal hernia surgery

Fever cough, so as to avoid severe cough, resulting in increased abdominal pressure, so that the tight hernia, line off, there will be hernia recurrence. We should pay special attention to increasing nutrition and eat more eggs, lean meat, fish, ducks, chickens, vegetables and water. Hernia surgery belongs to clean surgery. If the skin is not infected, there is no need to change the dressing. There will be scar in the operation area after surgery, which needs a period of time to soften slowly.

Third: the most important thing is that you can't do strenuous activities half a year after the operation to avoid hernia recurrence. There are no special dietary restrictions. Inguinal hernia repair is actually a relatively small operation in surgery. Gut suture does not need to be removed. Generally, it is completely absorbed in 1-2 months. If so, there is no need to change the dressing. After 2 days, remove the gauze and fully expose the edge of the knife, so that the edge will grow faster.
