What is The chance of my hernia coming back after recovering from surgery?!


Question: What is The chance of my hernia coming back after recovering from surgery?
I just had an open inguinal hernia surgery, I am just curious of the chance of a hernia coming back after I fully recover and start running and doing light workouts? Any answers would be great

Answers:

There is a good chance of the hernia coming back if you put too much strain on your body too quickly after the surgery, I would wait a good while before going back to putting strain on your body to stop the risk of the hernia coming back. Hernia's can re occur due to the fact that is due to a weak spot in the muscle where the lining of the abdominal cavity can then protrude out, so just be careful and if your body needs a rest make sure you rest!



It depends on how the repair was made. If it was repaired using a patch then its not very likely. Although you may have issues later on involving adhesion even 20 years after the surgery
