What to eat after hernia surgery?

1. Fasting including boiling water is required within 4 hours after operation.

After 2.4 hours, if the gastrointestinal peristalsis is normal, you can drink boiled water first, and if there is no discomfort such as vomiting, you can eat soft and digestible food.

In order to prevent postoperative constipation and possible slight fever, please drink more boiled water and eat more fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits.

Activities:

1. In principle, patients can move normally, but they should avoid violent abdominal movements, such as severe cough, crying, squatting posture, forced defecation and strenuous exercise.

2. In order to avoid bladder swelling, remember not to hold your urine, but if you can't urinate or can't urinate for more than 6 to 8 hours, you should report it to the medical staff in time and handle it.

Wound appearance:

1. After the operation, the wound must not be soaked in water, so don't take a bath for the time being. You can clean your body by taking a bath. After about 5 or 6 days, depending on the wound healing, normal bathing can be resumed.

2. The surface of the wound is generally covered with cosmetic tape, gauze and transparent film, and the inner layer is stitched with catgut. Because catgut can be absorbed by itself, it is not necessary to take out catgut.

Please keep the wound clean and dry at any time, and change the dressing on time according to the doctor's advice, and remember that the beauty tape covering the wound must not be torn off by itself.

If the wound appears bleeding, redness, swelling, fever, pain, exudation and high fever, please go back to the hospital immediately.

Others:

1. Please take painkillers on time, which can moderately relieve the discomfort of wound pain.

2. Go to the hospital for follow-up visit according to the time given by the doctor.

3. If you find that the fever persists above 38 degrees, or the wound has secretions, redness, laceration and severe swelling of scrotum, please come to the hospital immediately.

4. If the male patient finds abnormal scrotal swelling or recurrent hernia, please inform the medical staff as soon as possible.
