The recovery time for hernia surgery in adults needs to be judged according to the surgical method, and usually takes about 1 month to 3 months. Most hernias are caused by chronic coughing, lifting heavy objects, etc., resulting in increased intra-abdominal pressure, combined with a decrease in the strength of the body’s abdominal wall, which leads to the protrusion of intra-abdominal organs through the peritoneal defects or weaknesses and the formation of a mass on the body’s surface. Hernia surgery can be generally categorized into traditional hernia repair, open method tension-free hernia repair, and trans-laparoscopic hernia surgery. If the traditional hernia repair surgery, due to the more serious damage, and suture tension is larger, the recovery time is slower, usually need 2 to 3 months to return to normal; if the open method of tension-free hernia repair, through the laparoscopic hernia surgery, the damage is small, the suture tension is smaller, the recovery time is faster, usually about 1 month to return to normal. Adults should also consume protein-rich foods such as milk, lean meat and eggs to promote wound healing, in addition to avoiding lifting or carrying heavy objects to prevent hernia recurrence. If symptoms such as hernia recurrence or pain occur, you should follow up with your doctor to find out the cause of the problem.
