A member asked:

I have para-umbilical hernia - doctor said after ultrasound , its about 2cm , now i thing its gone 3cm, after operation can i do hard workout in gim ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Once the hernia repair has fully healed, usually about 4-6 weeks after surgery and when approved by your surgeon, you would then be able to return to full normal activities and exercises.
