Hernia surgery does not usually affect fertility. Aggressive treatment and careful surgery are needed to ensure that the surgical treatment is effective. For hernia surgery, minimally invasive surgical treatment is commonly used, which is less damaging to the body, has a quicker recovery, and the precision of this type of surgery does not affect fertility. This type of surgery can mainly push the intestines and other organs into place, and then repair the weak spots in the body and so on. Common surgical procedures may include high hernia sac ligation or filler mesh repair, among others. Since the spermatic cord passes through the inguinal canal, damage needs to be avoided during hernia surgery or fertility may be affected. Care should be taken not to overexert yourself after hernia surgery, especially not to perform strenuous exercise, straining to have a bowel movement, and so on. Excessive exertion may cause an increase in abdominal pressure, leading to recurrent hernias, which is detrimental to treatment, and bed rest is also recommended.
