How soon can i have sex after an umbilical hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hernia activity: Activities following hernia repair should be based on comfort. Any activity causing pain should be avoided. I recommend patients avoid strenuous activities for about six weeks, although every patient is differrent in the amount of activity that they would consider strenuous.
