How long before you can do physical work after hernia surgery

Generally speaking, you can perform ordinary labor about one month after hernia surgery, but heavy labor is not recommended for three months after surgery. Hernia is mostly due to the congenital or acquired defects or weaknesses, holes, etc. formed in the abdominal wall, which cause the organs or tissues in the body to leave their original position and go to another part. About one month after the hernia surgery, the wound basically recovers and you can do some daily labor, but if you do heavy labor, it may cause an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, which is not conducive to the recovery of the wound. As each person’s physique is different, the condition is different, the speed of wound recovery and the situation is not the same, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to review the postoperative period, by the regular doctor to determine whether it can carry out heavy physical labor.
