What To Expect After Hernia Surgery: Long-Term Outcomes And Recovery | Health Live

The number of hernia patients has significantly increased recently. Hernia occurs when a body part protrudes through a weakened area in the abdominal muscles or tissue. This bulging typically happens around the stomach, navel, upper thigh, or waist. While hernias are generally not life-threatening, they can be effectively treated through surgery. However, it is important to understand the potential side effects of hernia surgery. Post-surgery, patients may experience pain, swelling, or discomfort at the incision site. There could also be a risk of infection, blood clots, or recurrence of the hernia. Recovery time varies, with many individuals returning to normal activities within a few weeks, but full healing may take longer.
