A member asked:
How strong is the mesh after one month of hernia mesh repair? i have had a big ventral hernia above the button and a mesh of 15cm*30cm has been placed below the muscles above the peritoneum. is it safe to cough and laugh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. A well placed mesh repair will let you do both safely- after local wound healing- 3-4 weeks
