A member asked:
Is drinking alcohol 2 days after inguinal hernia surgery ok or will it increase bruising in groin area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A couple drinks OK: Excessive drinking can affect your liver's function ... Which might cause more bruising, but in general won't have any effect. A couple of drinks is ok. Good luck with your hernia repair ... I hope you're having it done laparoscopically! regards, dr. T.
