A member asked:
Is it advisable to climb stairs if one is suffering from hernia
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be ok: Limit your activity, including stair climbing, based on pain or discomfort from the hernia. The simplest rule is, if it hurts, ease up. If the symptoms from the hernia are limiting your activity level, you should see a general surgeon for a consultation and physical exam.
