The recovery time after hernia surgery in elderly female patients depends on the type of hernia and the presence or absence of underlying diseases, and cannot be generalized. Common clinical hernias include inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, femoral hernia, and incisional hernia of the abdominal wall. In general, if an elderly female patient has no other underlying disease, such as diabetes, and no infection, healing of the incision can usually be achieved about 1 week after surgery, but the patient can basically recover only 1 month after surgery and can move around normally, but should not bear weight or perform activities that increase abdominal pressure too early. If the patient has underlying disease or postoperative infection, the recovery time should be relatively longer. In the case of an incisional hernia of the abdominal wall, it is usually accompanied by a severe abdominal wall tissue defect, which forms a strong scar healing and usually takes 6 months for basic recovery. In addition, patients are advised to avoid postoperative exertion, especially coughing, strenuous activity, constipation, and other factors that lead to increased intra-abdominal pressure to avoid recurrence of the hernia.
