How do i deal with an inguinal hernia repair and recovery

Time: Rest as needed, walk, used prescribed pain pills as directed. Eat lighter foods first few days after surgery. Take laxative if constipation develops. No heavy lifting for about 6 weeks. Be sure to get post-operative instructions from your surgeon & follow your surgeon's directions.

Dr Rosen and another doctor agreed

General surgeon: See a general surgeon for a consult. Most inguinal hernia repairs are performed through a groin incision an use mesh. With enough training an experience, many surgeons perform the repairs laparoscopically. Th laparoscopic technique has less pain and recovery time than the open technique, but only when done by a surgeon with enough experience. Both don't require postop activity restrictions.
