Hi, 3 month since i had an inguinal hernia surgery. can i consider myself to be fully recovered? what are the things i should avoid to re-occurrence?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: healing time is 6-8 weeks, 3 months is clearly time to return to normal activity. Recurrences are rare but can occur, suggest as yoou return to normal activity work up to strenuous activity such as lifting
