The issue of driving after hernia surgery depends on the individual, if you are only driving for a short period of time, about 10 days of postoperative recovery will be sufficient. If driving for a long time, two months after surgery is recommended.
Generally speaking, the majority of patients after surgery in about 10 days after the wound healing, usually can remove the stitches, at this time want to go to the car will not be affected, but do not recommend driving for too long.
If you are driving for a long time, it is recommended that you drive two months after the surgery, when your body and the wound are basically back to normal. This is because sitting in a car may increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity, which may cause local discomfort or lead to a higher risk of hernia recurrence.
If the wound has not completely healed after the hernia surgery, or even pus infection, incision cracking, etc., at this time, strict attention to rest, as far as possible, mainly in bed, so this situation is not suitable for driving.
