How do i know if i damaged a hernia repair mesh from coughing 4 weeks after surgery.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The only way to: tell for certain is to be examined. The odds are in your favor as most healing has completed within two weeks. Make an appointment to see the surgeon soon for reassurance.
