How long does it take to recover from a hernia patch as normal

  Hernia patch repair is a tension-free repair method for the treatment of extra-abdominal hernia, which has the advantages of mild postoperative pain, rapid recovery and low recurrence rate. It takes about 3-6 months if the recovery is to be the same as normal.  As an exogenous material, the hernia patch has an adaptation process with the body tissues, and some patients may also have rejection reactions after implantation with the patch, which needs to be taken seriously. Generally, patients can be discharged from the hospital about 1 week after surgery and basically resume normal life about 1 month, but they cannot engage in heavy physical activities. It usually takes 3-6 months to reach the same state as normal people, because it is then that the hernia patch can completely adhere to the surrounding tissues as one piece.  In addition, after hernia patch repair, patients should pay attention to keep the incision dry and clean, change medicine regularly to avoid infection, and try to avoid sneezing and lifting heavy objects.
