A member asked:

Why is there burning after hernia surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Nerve discomfort to the skin can temporarily result in a sharp or burning feeling around the surgical site. That discomfort resolves as the surgical site heals. See your surgeon to be sure that you are healing properly.
