You can do normal chores after incisional hernia surgery, but try to avoid weight-bearing and high-intensity activities. An incisional hernia is a hernia that occurs at an incision in the abdominal wall, most commonly through the rectus abdominis muscle. If the wound becomes infected or even opens up, the probability of an incisional hernia is greatly increased. In principle, incisional hernia requires surgical treatment. After a period of postoperative recuperation and wound healing, you can gradually return to normal life and do simple housework. After surgery, you can slowly increase the amount of activity, but you should also try to avoid weight-bearing and high-intensity exercise, otherwise the sudden increase in abdominal pressure may lead to the reoccurrence of hernia. Therefore, until the incision is completely healed, the intensity of activity should not be too high, and you can walk slowly on the ground. If you find the incision gradually bulging or even a swelling protruding after the operation, please go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.
