A member asked:

Can i still do gymnastic after hernia repair?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Creighton Wright answered

Specializes in surgery

Yes: But wait until surgeon clears you to reduce chance of recurrence or bleeding. Usually well healed in two months, or so. I presume this is a groin hernia but the principle is the same for umbilical or femoral.
