A member asked:
Could sneezing cause a hernia to recur even after a mesh was used?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Any increase in abdominal pressure can lead to a hernia. If the increase in pressure occurs in the immediate post-op period it can dislodge the mesh. If you feel a bulge post-op it can also be a seroma, a benign fluid collection where the hernia used to be.
