Whether the inguinal hernia surgery is painful or not is mainly based on the process to analyze, during the operation because of the role of anesthesia, so there will be no pain, and after the operation with the gradual disappearance of the effect of anesthetic drugs, the patient will gradually appear pain. 1. Intraoperative: Before inguinal hernia surgery, it is necessary to give epidural anesthesia and general anesthesia. Epidural anesthesia is the injection of anesthetic drugs into the epidural cavity, which blocks the spinal nerve roots and causes the disappearance of pain in the area it innervates; general anesthesia is mainly respiratory, intravenous injection and other methods, which inhibit the central nervous system and then play the effect of anesthesia, and the patient will not have pain during the operation. 2. Postoperative: After the operation, with the gradual metabolism of anesthetic drugs in the body, the effect of anesthesia will gradually disappear, and the patients will gradually begin to experience pain at the incision. Therefore, in summary, inguinal hernia patients will not have pain during the operation, while the incision pain will gradually appear after the operation.
