Hernia surgery is still painful after 5 months, usually caused by scar proliferation or intestinal adhesion and other factors.
1. Scar proliferation: In the process of scar proliferation, there is a possibility that it may irritate the nerves that have not been repaired well, so some patients may still have pain 5 months after hernia surgery. The patient will also have localized plaque, swelling and other symptoms.
2. Intestinal adhesion: Intestinal adhesion is the abnormal adhesion of the intestinal tube with itself or surrounding tissues and organs. It is usually caused by intra-abdominal trauma, bleeding, infection or foreign body irritation. Patients who have had hernia surgery have a higher chance of having intestinal adhesions. Most patients are asymptomatic, and some experience chronic abdominal pain or obstruction.
There are many reasons for pain 5 months after hernia surgery, so it is recommended that patients seek medical examination to understand their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions to give appropriate treatment.
